Re: (ASCEND) Q. Can you run servers behind Pipeline (running NAT)?

That's too bad.

Oops. Sorry for my misuse of the terms. What I mean to say is that with a TA
as a NIC sitting in the same machine as the DNS, one can effectively turn
the Server into routing the LAN. Then with multi-homing on a single IP, I
can
run other servers on the subnet.
But I don't like this solution because it means dedicating one machine for
the task
and using the software to solve it instead of letting the hardware
(pipeline) handling this.
I am still hopeing a solution is available. Maybe something like setting the
default
route to a specific machine. That is, if an unsolicted packet is sent to the
pipeline 75,
it will automatically (by default through some sort of configuration on p75)
be routed to a specific machine. It should be doable, at least conceptually.
Thanks.
