How else do you do pppoe and keep the different networks physically |
17 |
seperated? |

It has currently four network ports. Only one of them is connected to |
28 |
the switch. Another one is connected to the pppoe line, and the other |
29 |
two (on a dual card) aren't connected yet. |

31 |
I plan to use one for the devices network and the other one for the |
32 |
second internet connection. None of them needs to/should be connected |
33 |
to the switch. The VM running asterisk will need a second interface |
34 |
that connects to a bridge so it can reach the router/firewall. The |
35 |
interface for the second internet connection needs to be passed to the |
36 |
router/firewall. |

Can you think of an easier setup? |

Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons |
43 |
might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable. |
