dsl and the confusedness the howto brings about various protocols

[Frank J. Carmickle]

One thing for anyone who wants to know.  Sorry to confuse this thread
more.  Geoff made the statement that you would need two nic's to create a
gateway.  Others have eluded to this also.  This is not needed.  Unless
you are going to be using dhcp on the local subnet you can just use one
card to do this job.  You would use the ip aliasing support in the kernel
to give two addresses to one interface.  I am sure who ever would be doing
this gateway project would get the rest.  Not the best solution for some
people but hey it works.  Not very secure either.
