I finaly got manualy arp cache to work. Had to add a arp statment
for every IP number.
My setup look like this
___________ ______
| ISPs | | |
| router |--eth1| fw |eth0---hub---network (x.x.x.1-254)
|x.x.x.250| | |
----------- ------
The ISPs router do route directly to each computer on the network and
each computer on the network use x.x.x.250 as gw. both interface on
the fw is promiscues. The ISPs router, nor the computers on the network
know the fw ip-number (or about its existanse).
This means the fw is instaled without changing anithing in the ISPs
router (wich is a pain) or on all the computers on the network (wich
is allot of work).
Seams to work OK but:
o Do anyone se a problem with this setup?
o Isn't the arp-cach suposed to be automatic in this cases for
forwarded IP adresses. It is aperently not in my setup :-/
The router use kernel 2.4.2 by the way.
