So, can I > use monowall as advanced router? As far as I can tell, m0n0wall currently only supports 3 physical NICs. However, with its boost in popularity of late, I would like to see things like this get addressed. Multiple NIC support is a great feature, as is load balancing with upstream DSL links using multiple WAN NICs (such as 2 * ADSL suppliers, or 1 * ADSL + 1 * X.21 Frame). As for iproute2 and source routing, this is EXTREMELY powerful, allowing very complex networks to be configured with relatively few routing rules. It also removes much of the need for the old "route" command. :) I have a mate who knows iproute2 rather well, and showed me a lot of the power behind this command. I was suitable impressed. :) As for m0n0wall, I don't know if BSD has a routing command as powerful as iproute2 on Linux, but If it does, I for one (well, two - after you) would really like to know about it. -- Regards, Hilton Travis Email: Hilton at QuarkAV dot com Manager, Quark AudioVisual Phone: +61-(0)7-3343-3889 Quark Computers Phone: +61-(0)419-792-394 (Brisbane, Australia) http://www.QuarkAV.com/ Open Source Projects: http://www.ares-desktop.org/ http://www.mamboband.org/ Non Linear Video Editing Solutions & Digital Audio Workstations Network Administration, SmoothWall Firewalls, NOD32 AntiVirus Conference and Seminar AudioVisual Production and Recording War doesn't determine who is right.
