I dont see why I would require two different subnets. Gateways can definetly be configured to route traffic between two networks with identical subnets. However, in my case, I do believe that things will work if both my NICs have an IP from Verizon, and I could add static routes for them with the mask of 32. The only problem is getting my other machines to obtain an IP via DHCP. > To bridge, you would need to have some sort of > device or code that can > filter/track/block/forward ip traffic that doesn't > rely on routing code > (which IPTables/IPChains does).
