Several *different* subnets?
How? To make things clearer, suppose that there is one subnet, partly physical,
partly virtual (maybe this is not the right word), as follows:
H1 (border firewall) has 2 nics:
- 192.168.1.0 <---> (via dynamic IP/pppd) Internet
- 192.168.2.20 <---> H2
H2 (services) has 1 nic:
- 192.168.2.10
On H2:
- vserver (apache): 192.168.2.55
Can I create a second purely virtual net inside H2, say 192.168.3.0 ?
[Where I would put e.g. a "mysql" vserver, with address 192.168.3.55.]

Is it on

Is it possible to have the same kind of communication between
vservers?
Thanks,
