RE: AS/400 connected to intranet and internet?

Jim if you want to use built in NAT and have the same site on the inside as
the outside you need to NIC's thats all. Sure you could have a single card
and run multiple interfaces into it but just doesn't allow you to be as
flexible in the options you have available to you. What you are doing is two
addresses into different interfaces the only way to share the webserver in
that instance is not to bind specific to the interface, limits how many
webservers you have to one on port 80. Or have two different configs
pointing at the same place lots of ways lots of options.

If you have the time and two NICs take a look at what NAT and IP filtering
can do for you IBM is hiding a firewall in the 400 and telling no one about
it.

Why would you need two NICs though?  I've installed two IPs on the same
NIC with no problem.  This was for a site where the AS/400 was both on
the public internet and on the private internet, so it had one IP of
207.x.x.x
and the other of 192.168.1.x and everything worked fine.

We would do the same thing with PCs we wanted both on the inter and intra
nets.
