      Hi there, okay its a prety (duh say BIG) newby question but maybe you can help me out.

      I want to use pfSense as a firewall/router between a backbone connection in a datacentre and a few servers behind pfSense.
      I have 2 ranges of IP addresses which I got from the datacentre (upgrade afterwards, a 2nd different range was available)

      I have a Proliant DL360-G2 with dual 1.4GHz PIII and 1.2GB of RAM and 2 onboard NIC's.

      Nic 1 is defined as WAN, Nic 2 as LAN

      How can I setup the Nic 1 to accept addresses (e.g.) 88.33.44.201 - 88.33.44.216 and also the second range 88.33.50.10 - 88.33.50.25
      And, it must be setup in a manner that I can create firewall/nat rules like:

      port 80 @ 88.33.44.203 has to go to port 80 @ 192.168.0.9
      port 80 @ 88.33.50.12 has to go to port 80 @ 192.168.0.11
      etc.

      I guess it's more routing then firewalling?

        Create virtual IP's on the WAN.
        "Firewall" –> "VIPs"

        We do what we must, because we can.
