I don't know your network, but given that brief description, yes, it sounds like you'll probably need to configure NAT. I've never used NAT with non-global zones (just with external devices -- my OpenSolaris box acts as the default gateway/firewall for the rest of my network), but I'm sure someone else here has and can give details. Note that NAT and address assignment are really two separate things, and you configure and manage them separately. NAT allows you to configure a private subnet where the traffic in and out of the subnet is translated so that it looks to the rest of the IP universe as though it comes from one (or a small number of) public IP address(es). Address assignment within a network (public or private) can be static or dynamic. Step 1, though, is reading through the documentation. I'd suggest simplifying things by getting one part working at a time -- starting with (say) NAT. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
