Hi Barry, Assign the same IPs to both devices. I know it can be done, however I don't know how to achieve this successfully. I have a mate who has done this on a few networks he administers - he uses the same IP on two machines for routing reasons, and configures routing tables so that its not an issue. This is not because these clients are short of IPs, tho - one in particular owns a /24 and a /30 and uses - in total - two of these IPs. :) If you wish, I can speak to him and get him to reply. Linux, tho, but the theory should remain valid regardless of the OS involved. - HiltonT On Thu, 2004-04-22 at 11:01, Barry Mather wrote: > Just a thought ... > > Vpn connections are not going to work if the failed over firewall has a > different ip from the main firewall .... > > I seem to remember that sonicwall got around this ... maybe I'm wrong > tho ... > > -----Original Message----- > From: Barry Mather [mailto:barry dot mather at dorecentres dot com dot au] > Sent: 22 April 2004 10:56 > To: m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch > Subject: RE: [m0n0wall] m0n0 hacking questions > > I'd deffo be interested in this, I'm in the planning stages of setting > up a WISP in Sydney, and this kind of thing would be VERY useful ! > > Good work I say ! > > -----Original Message----- > From: Curt Shaffer [mailto:curt at chilitech dot net] > Sent: 22 April 2004 06:40 > To: m0n0wall at lists dot m0n0 dot ch > Subject: [m0n0wall] m0n0 hacking questions > > I have started today to add a generic fail-over option for the > m0n0wall.
