Topic: Need Help with Network Design...

[llandry]

Hi Folks....

I need some advice/help in configuring SME to support the following:

I'm installing 6.01 in a private school. The SME box will serve as server/gateway.

This is what I'd like to do..

2 Independent networks running of the box
    1) Academic ( students )
    2) Admin ( for staff )


I'd like the 2 to share the internet gateway, but have the Samba storage and workstation inaccessible to each network.

I'll need a DHCPD on each of the "local" network nics

Is this possible? Is there maybe a better way of doing this?

Budget is tight, so I don't have the luxury of having multiple servers..

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated...

If grouping students and staff is not enough, you maybe better off with SUSE school server. Academic license is not too expensive and control over network is tight. Another way is to go with different router-firewall for one of the subnets.
