You can split your 8 netblock into 2 4er netblock, each has only two useable IPs. When dropping broadcast (usually not needed) you could use 3 addresses.
Every resource I have found shows that this will not work: When I attempt to configure this way the network breaks. Anyone have documentation on this?
Could you describe such resources? For some customers I configured that in this way. 2 4er nets: the first one between firewall and upstream router, the second one between firewall and a machine doing masquerading and/or VPN. Of course the upstream router needs to know about this (since it must have a route to the second net with firewall as gateway). oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
