I need to extend my school's network beyond the 254 IP numbers I'm using - based on 172.19.50.x
This network includes a router which links through an ISDN line to an LEA proxy server.
Is the best way to achieve this to split the network into 2 segment and use a Linux machine and Masquerading to link them together.
ie.- leave the bulk of the machines on 172.19.50.x use 192.168.0.x for the others use two NICs in the Linux machine, 1 for each subnet Install masquerading
Will this allow the machines on 192.168.0.x to access *all* the services on the main network?

Um, couldn't you cheat a bit and drop down a couple of digits for the mask? ie 255.255.255.0 becomes 255.255.250.0 I've seen it done once before, a while a go mind. Please feel free to tell me off. paul I've tried to give them up. But I'm back on the sigs again.
