I would suggest a Firewall that will allow for "bridging" between two (or more) Interfaces. In this mode, both Interfaces can be on the same subnet (but different network segments) and don't route traffic, only "bridge" it (layer-2) across segments. There may be other solutions, but this sounds easiest.

One subnet (or even one IP) on the external interface, and another subnet of fake IPs on the internal, using NAT one <--> many. 2. One subnet of real IPs on the external, and one subnet of real IPs on the internal, with a next-hop route from the external subnet to the internal (said next hop route is set up on the router the firewall connects outwards to) I am wondering what can be done if I want to use ONLY real IPs, but I also only want to use ONE subnet. If I have a /24, with no subnets, and the router is .1, and the FW external is .2, and the FW internal is .3 and workstations are .4 - .254 ... is there a way to work this ? _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://www.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
