Hi all, I have DSL service w/ 2 static IP addresses. Right now I'm only using the first, via DSL Modem <-> Linksys router <-> Linux server and using port forwarding to get things where I want. This works great. But I also have a second IP address I'd like to use for some business stuff. So my question is, does anyone have experience w/ a Linksys (or other home router I guess) and multiple IP addresses? Should I even bother? Should I dump the Linksys and go w/ a linux/openbsd firewall to give me more flexibility? Right now I'm using named virtual hosts on 1 IP to separate multiple services on a single server. But my thinking was that it would be cleaner if I could use the 2nd NIC on the dual port card and have it listen on another IP. Any experience doing this sort of thing? I've gotten the home network setup ok, but I'm not a networking guru. It doesn't need to scale beyond this level. Thanks for any ideas.
