I've just received a miniPCI ath0 card for my soekris, & plan to eliminate the current draytek wireless router from my home LAN.

however this is a little further out of my currrent skill set than before, esp. in the subnet/routing arena & before i dig in too deep i could do with some feedback on "the right way" to set this up.

currently i have this mess in place:

soekris: FreeBSD/pfSense
        sis0    internet, static IP
        sis1    10.0.0.5 going to eth1 router
                        ||
router: eth1    10.0.0.1 cabled to sis1
        eth2    to webserver at 10.0.0.2
        eth3    to mailserver at 10.0.0.3
        eth4    to desktop with dhcp

what i'm hoping to do, under OpenBSD is the following:

soekris:openbsd4.0, pf, dhcp, spamd, ntpd, routing
        sis0    internet
        sis1    going to webserver at 10.0.0.2
        sis2    going to mailserver at 10.0.0.3
        ath0    wifi going to desktop with dhcp

i.e. soekris would route between sis0, wifi, sis1/2 as needed, provide ntpd, pf, & dhcp services to the LAN.

the questions:
-is this a workable/sensible config?

- am i correct in planning to set up sis1/2 as a bridge?
        - do i _need_ to assign an IP to the sis1/2 interfaces then?

- can i use the same default gateway for all boxes - planning 10.0.0.1?

- or does the ath0 wifi need a separate subnet to sis1/2?

thanks!
