[lug] Linux SW router

[Holshouser, David]

where is the Internet in this network?
 
1. not connected 
    A <--> B <--> C (B has 2 nics?)

2. Inet <--> A <--> B <--> C (each machine has 2 nics?)
3. Inet <--> A <hub> BC
4. Inet <dslswitch/dhcp> ABC

If you are shooting for option 3, then a router isn't necessary. Let linux
do masquerading for you and alls well. That's the most common thing I've
seen.
