this is the deal, i am designing the network and i have some questions, regarding route (OBSD 4.2) setup. the relevant interfaces are $dmz_if (uplink for the servers in DMZ) and $ext_if the router uplink.
the idea is to save one external IP by NOT assigning an external IP to the $dmz_if, is it possible? so the $dmz_if would be 10.0.0.1, and the servers would have external IP as their 'primary' IP and an alias to somewhere in 10.0.0/24 so far i come up with: pass in on $pub_if route-to $dmz_if from any to $ip ($pub_if is there as i am testing FROM $pub_if, i will change it to something like ''{ $ext_if $pub_if $int_if }'' once i am done testing) but that doesn't work, the ping doesn't get through, which if i add an alias in the same subnet as the external IP's the ping from $pub_if:network to my $ip gets through just fine. any pointers/links/suggestions on how to achieve that? -- error: one bad user found in front of screen
