Hi All and a happy new year, got a short question here. I'm building a home router from a blue box (embedded pc), which has 3 nics (rl0, 1, 2). Internet drops in via dhcp client on rl0. Now I got 2 NICs left and I'd like to use them similar like a hub. Just use a cross over cable and plug in 2 more devices which can then talk through that router.
My first try was to bridge rl1 and rl2, but then again, I want to use a dhcp server on both interfaces and it seems like I can't do that, since I can't give an ip on bridge0 and I wouldn't want to give an IP to rl1 and rl2. Any ideas to that setup? I thought about giving rl1 an IP adress and rl2 one from another network. Like rl1 with 192.168.1 and rl2 with 192.168.2 and then run dhcpd on rl1 and rl2 serving both subnets. However, that doesn't look like a good approach to me. Any other thoughts on that issue? Ah yes, it's OpenBSD 4.4 release :) best regards, Marian PS.: please CC me, I'm not subscribed to the list.
