Re: 3 LAN, 2 WAN - 2 LAN use 1 WAN, last LAN uses other WAN

The DSL and the WANs don't have anything to do with anything.

If all the LANs are in the same building you connect them with normal
ethernet with a LAN Router in between (I mean a "real" router, not a
home-user NAT-box).


This is hardly a home user LAN box..
Dual Quad Core, 16GB RAM, W2K8 x64. 150GB RAID1 (OS), 1.36TB RAID10 (Storage)

So beefy because it runs virtual machines - one of these is an nTop box -
for monitoring the network - (hence why I want all internet traffic going
through this server). A SBS2K3 (CompanyA), An Application Server (Company A,
Company D [moving in next month]), A dev server (Company C - which is
delveloping things for Company A, B, C & E - again why I want LAN access to
everything)

You could use a Layer3 Switch which is a LAN Router and a network Switch
built into the same piece of hardware.

*One* nic per machine. Get rid of the 6 nics in the Server.

There are
Company A - 15 PCs, 2 Printers
Company B - 2 PCs
Company C - 4 PCs

They all have 1 NIC each.


Networks are separate from computers. Computers live on the network just
like houses live on the streets. But the computers do not become the
network just like houses do not become the streets. A network should
function even if there is not one single computer on it. If you design a
network with that in mind you will be miles ahead.

Yeah I want everyone who drives into the city to go via one TOLL bridge, not
5 different free roads that meet in the city and avoid my TOLL.

See I follow what your saying - ultimately I don't want to go spend extra
cash on a Layer3 switch - cause I can do what I want to do with Linux & IP
Tables - It's just that Gentoo isn't playing ball with VMWare server so I've
gone back to a Windows host. Now if Linux can route packets - surely windows
can route packets. I just don't know how to configure it. I did cover it it
one of my MCSE classes, but that was 3yrs ago and I've not done much Windows
routing since that class.....

Also I want all internet traffic to flow through a single device that can
audit the traffic. Each company doesn't have it's own internet connection
right now. I don't want any other company on my internet as they slow it
down. I want to be able connect to their computers easily etc.

I need to know how to route:
- Network 192.168.10.0/24 to gateway 192.168.0.1
- Network 192.168.11.0/24 & 192.168.12.0/24 to gateway 192.168.1.1

Which is
NIC1 192.168.10.1 to NIC4 192.168.0.2
NIC2 192.168.11.1 & NIC3 192.168.12.1 to NIC4 192.168.0.2

Thanks.
