      So I am really impressed with PFSense so far… I CoLo some rackspace and am using this as my gateway/firewall...

      I have a few DB servers and would like to keep them ON A SEPARATE subnet from other machines...  I would also like to setup ISCSI and have it run on a separate subnet...

      I currently have the Lan interface setup as 192.168.0.254.  I would like to also have it setup as 10.0.0.254...

      If this is possible how can I accomplish this?

      Thanks for any help!

        VLANs. Buy a cheap VLAN-capable switch and implement VLANs on your pfSense machine.

          Bern,

          Thanks for the heads up… I am familiar with the term VLAN,  any reccomendations for a decent managed 24port switch for use in a production environment?  HP Procurve maybe (but any suggestions as to which model # I should go with?)

          Also --- Do I need to flip-on any settings on the PFSense box, or will it automatically understand/allow traffic to pass thorugh the box on the LAN interface?  And can the PFSense box act as a DHCP server for multiple subnets?

          Thanks for filling me in!

            http://pfsense.site88.net/mysetup/index.html It's my guess that the 24 works the same way as the 8 port

              I'd second the recommendation for the HP switches - they really are very good.
