I have a question regarding networking and IP Masquerading that doesn't
seem to be handled in "just one" HOWTO. Perhaps someone here can help.
I have 3 boxes on a small home LAN, connected to the 'net with ADSL. I
have 2 static IP's. Boxes 1 and 2 are both running debian Linux 2.1 with
kernel 2.2.4 on box 1, kernel 2.2.1 on box 2. Box 3 is running Windows 98.
Box 1 is the gateway box connected to the DSL router, and is running IP
Chains. eth0 is set to my first static IP, and eth1 is set to 192.168.1.1.
To connect the other 2 machines, I have an rj-45 cable running from eth1
on box 1 to a Linksys 10/100 ethernet switch, and boxes 2 and 3 are
connected to the switch via the same method, with their respective eth0.
At the present time, all three boxen have access to the 'net with IP
Masq'ing and all is working fine. The question that I haven't been able to
find the answer to is this. How, using the same network topography as I
currently have, can I make use of my second IP? My guess is that it's
something using IP Alias, but I haven't bee able to figure out on my own
how to alias the boxes on my LAN to use the second IP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not presently subscribed to
debian-user, but I will be checking the list for replies to this request
if you don't wish to respond directly back to me.
TIA
Steve Martin
