As it stands now, I have a router and then an AP. but
eventually I wanna have 2 routers in an attempt to
implement a tri-homed firewall configuration. I will have
a server or two between the routers though. Its the
problems and working through the solution that I'm
looking for - I must be a masochist
😛
Thanks again Joker
