I was thinking of mixing arp -f /etc/ethers with some iptables rules, but the question which arises is if I "stick" the mac on the ip, or the ip on the mac, i.e. if the mac X is tied to the IP Y, will the mac X be able to have the IP Z (since the IP Y won't allow itself to another ethernet) hope I'm not too ambiguous, thanks, petre -- Login: petre Name: Petre Bandac Directory: /home/petre Shell: /usr/local/bin/zsh On since Fri Jun 6 13:27 (EEST) on ttyv0, idle 16:52 (messages off) Last login Tue Jun 17 09:21 (EEST) on ttyp6 from ns.rdsbv.ro No Mail.
