One of the two addresses they give you has to be assigned to the external interface of the gateway. Only traffic destined for _that_ address -- not the second IP they allow you -- is going to hit that interface. The only way around this is a) NAT, which you've said is not acceptable, or b) presenting a second interface to the outside world, which leaves you no "real" IPs for the clients behind the gateway. Ergo, I don't see any way to meet your requirements with a single gateway. - -d - -- David Talkington PGP key: http://www.prairienet.org/~dtalk/0xCA4C11AD.pgp - -- http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/pale_blue_dot.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iQA/AwUBPESNuL9BpdPKTBGtEQI0ogCeJpY2F06rp7Oi/HQrLUtfyQzYkLAAoK/S Cppvjsxzel/PsBxDWIKxa8CI =AekN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
