Yesterday, Dr. Seppi and I were brainstorming about using ebtables as both of you have tried, and we realized that we would have this problem with iptables. So sad. :( However, I think it would be great to have two or three modes, one of which would be the ebtables solution, and another would be masquerading. Then, we could let users choose a solution on a configuration page. I'm glad you were able to get this to work. It's a really cool approach. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
