Re: [pfSense Support] Virtual interfaces for multiple dhcp addresses?

2007-07-13 Thread Bill Marquette

We don't support that type of setup.  Nor would a bigger PC with more
interfaces actually solve your problem.  FWIW, FreeBSD itself doesn't
really support what you want (although it might be possible to hack
using ng_eiface).

Hi everyone.

I have a cable connection. I can get up to 4 IP addresses via DHCP on this
line. I run pfSense on a WRAP with 3 Interfaces. One LAN, one for DMZ and
one WAN. It works great. Now I have two webservers in the DMZ. I'd like to
use port 80 with both of them. All howto's etc descript a similar setup with
virtual ip's but as far as I see this only works with fixed IP addresses. I
can only get them via DHCP. I do not want to select DHCP get an IP, change
to fix with the ip I got and do this several times to get new ip's.

Can I somehow create virtual interfaces which I then set to DHCP? The WRAP
box has only 3 nics and I cannot expand. I don't want to use a big loud
(compared to WRAP) pc with several nics.

In Linux I can use something like eth0:0, eth0:1 etc for virtual interfaces
which I can set independently from the main eth0 interface. I do not need
load balance or similar as its the same cable connection anyways.

Anyone knows a solution for my problem?

Regards,

Marc

Not in a fashion where the firewall pulls multiple leases itself.

You could bridge an OPT interface and set the servers to DHCP on the OPT 
interface.


Obtaining multiple IP's from DHCP is extremely firewall unfriendly, I'm 
not aware of any commercial or open source firewall that will 
accommodate this kind of hack.

Indeed.  Your best bet is to obtain static addresses from the ISP for
this setup.
