If you were to do routing, and wanted to use a seperate block of addresses (from 192.168.1.0/24), besides the Linux box's config, and the OpenBSD box's config, you'd have to modify the configuration in 192.168.1.0/24 's router with static routes to the OpenBSD box (most SOHO routers don't support this). If you were to try to use some addresses under the 192.168.1.0/24 block, you'd have to either add a static route, or do ARP proxying at the OpenBSD box. > > All the IRB/CRB nonsense is just distracting.
