Hi all,

I have a box I installed OpenBSD 3.9 on. I'm trying to get this box to function as our office firewall. Here's the catch - we have VOIP phones that contact an external VOIP server outside of our firewall. I've been doing some research and found out that VOIP phones don't do NAT very well, and because of that you need to put them on their own static IPs. I've tried the sip proxy route, and honestly it was entirely over my head and I just couldn't understand how to get it to work.

A friend suggested that I should do the following:

1) Get two NICS for the OpenBSD box.
2) Give the first NIC an external routeable IP address, ex. 216.139.44.142 subnet 255.255.255.192 3) Give the second NIC an internal IP address, ex. 10.30.1.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 4) Give the second NIC an external IP address as well, ex. 216.139.44.143 subnet mask 255.255.255.192
5) Enable the gateway option in OpenBSD

I can successfully give the first NIC its external IP, and for the second NIC, I'm having troubles getting it to recognize both IPs on the 2nd NIC. I can get one IP address, or the other, but not both working at the same time.

Now, after I get the NICs set up, and after I enable the gateway option in OpenBSD, I'm a little confused as what to do from there.

Am I going about this the right way? Is there an easier way to do what I am trying to accomplish?

Thanks to all in advance.
