This is what I was looking for, just got it working on my test setup. I used a two stage approach: Move eth0 to eth10. Move eth1 to eth11. Then move eth11 to eth0, then eth10 to eth1. For each part I made a config file for nameif, and called them at net.eth0 startup. Oddly, nameif segfaults each time it's called, however this works. I'll be able to try it on the server at the end of the day. Thanks! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
