Hey, I''m trying to set up a Gentoo box to replace an aging BSD box here. The BSD box is running packet filter and I have it set up to take all data and route it to one of six sattelites. I have come up with the following config, but unfortunately I have no real way to test it short of switching the satellites over to the new system and prayer. The setup is: 192.168.252/22 - The LAN addresses, all run by DHCP on the Cisco BBSM which is behind the load balancer. Cannot change these. 10.10.1.1 - The Internal Interface, Gentoo box''s IP to the BBSM. I can change this if needed. 10.10.1.2 - The BBSM''s address to reply with (I cannot change this address, I tried but the BBSM hates me, and I have the BSD working on this by just NATing and then forwarding all traffic through the 10.10.1.2 gateway) 10.254.X.1 - Gentoo''s ethX IPs to interface to the satelite modems. I can change these as needed. 10.254.X.10 - The Sattelite modem''s IP addresses. I cannot change these. That''s the setup. Like I said, the BSD box runs it fine but I am having administrative issues, and the new box has more stuff available as well as being faster. I havd 289 users as of now with more to come, so the BSD setup is sweating a bit, and I want to run Squid on this load balanced net, and an internal Web server on a different interface when I get some free time. I''ve gotten a lot of help on this from Chris Verges, and using his info I put this together and wanted to see if anyone had any changes I should make before I basically go live to run the test. One thing I have not added yet is the interfacing to eth0 (Internal addressing) which I am unsure how to code exactly. Thanks for any help anyone can give.
