Are you sure? tun creates simply another network interface. So if you have some control of the routing around that network you simply need to enable ip forwarding and set the routing tables properly. IIRC there should be a broadcast variant of the tun device (tap?). This should theoretically allow you to configure the host system as an ethernet bridge (that is: like a network switch). So any network config of the host should be transparent. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
