You could also do it with some fancy routing table stuff, but two NIC's is easier to set up and maintain. I have a hardware firewall that I eventually dumped in favor of two NIC cards since it was easier to remember how everything was being routed.</div><div><br></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>mythtv-users mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users">http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users</a></span><br></div></blockquote><br><div>You might also be able to use a sub-interface instead of using a hardware nic.
