[NTLUG:Discuss] use linux box with 3 NICs

[Fred James]

Q: You have 1 IP and you want to share it out over an internal, private
network, to 2 or more devices.  Can you do that?
A: Yes.
Q: Can you do that with Linux?
A: Yes.
Q: Can you do that with a commercially available solution?
A: Yes.

>From the Linux point of view, you get total control, and pass or fail it is
yours - you out to be able to do it for $200.00 or less, if you shop
carefully.  You will learn a lot, and that is not to be discounted.

>From the commercial solution point of view, you can get a Linksys solution that
may very well do everything you need for less than $200.00 -
http://www.linksys.com/products/group.asp?grid=5  I wouldn't necessarily call
it the be-all/end-all, but it will get you up and running fast.  Two points to
remember: (a) it works with Linux, but Linksys tech will profess to know
nothing about it, and (b) it will pretty much insist on acting as the DHCP
hosts - yes, your printers can have static IPs, but you aren't serving those
out to the WEB anyway, are you(?).

Consider Fractals
