Hi,
I'm hosting some servers remotely and have been
allocated a block of 16 IP addresses by the hosting entity. I'm planning to
place a FW1 box in front of everything and would like to be able to use the IP
addresses in the most efficient way. The platform will be Intel
Linux.
I don't want to NAT the boxes behind the firewall
for a variety of reasons. As far as I can see my options are
- break the address block into 2 4 address blocks
and 1 eight address block -- use on four block on the public side of the
firewall and the rest on the other side
In this case, I assume I have to do proxy arp on
the public firewall interface?
This strikes me a hopelessly inefficient and I'd
really hoped there was another way to organise this -- is there?
