ill be placing in a new server w/c will be used as a database server which i
dont want it to have a global IP.
this is my current disected network structure..
LAN --switch1--router1 ---modem1------------(LOCAL LOOP)---------------modem2
--router2--switch2--myboxes
switch2 is owned by the datacenter... without adding any boxes or NIC card or
etc would it possible to add private IPs on myboxes using the same interface
card w/c is currently used for public IP?
would IP aliasing do the trick?
eth0 = GLOBAL_IP
eth0:0 = 192.168.8.1
