Hi there;
I've created a setup that I'm not sure is legitimate
in terms of RFC-compliance or standards-wise, hence
will not cause any problems in the future, so I'm
asking for your opinions.
I've put a firewall between our border router and the
rest of the network, however, while doing so I didn't
want to waste yet another network just for this, and
assigned RFC1918 IPs to firewall's and router's
interfaces that are connected directly to each other
with a cross-cable.
It was like:
Internet---->router<-----------------MY NETWORK
^
|
some legal
IP on this
interface
say x.x.x.1
and now it's like:
Internet--->router<------------->firewall<---MY
NETWORK
^ ^ ^
|-------------| |
| x.x.x.1
RFC1918
IPs on these
interfaces
It's working perfectly ok, with firewall doing the
routing now, except RFC1918 IPs showing up on the
traceroute.
I wonder if it's ok and will not cause any problems
in the future, and if there is any special name given
to such a setup.
Thanks for your help.
