Two subnets thru same wire

[Northrup, Wilson]

Works fine.  I do that all the time. It's called multinet.
Remember that Switches are layer 2, they don't care what addresses you might
be using.

For performance reasons, some may elect to put two nic's in the linux
server, connect one of them to the DSL router to do NAT and possibly
proxy/cache internet traffic - but you do not have to.

Sir,
Mr Ed Greshko has reminded me about academic
questions. I agree with him. But it is not purely an
academic question, as would be clear from following
real life situation of my office.
BTW, I have read, everything about ARP, MAC address
and how things work on wire. But I thought, I must
also also ask experts.

Here is the configuration that we have in our office.
This configuration is also working.
                                  
    Switch
 _______________
 |  |  |  |    |
 |  |  |  |     ---- DSL Router  ---- Internet
 |  |  |  |         203.147.175.12
 |  |  |  |
 |  |  |  ----------Mail Server (multihomed)
 |  |  |            203.147.175.13
 |  |  |            192.168.10.3
 |  |  |
 |  |  -------- 192.168.10.4
 |  ----------- 192.168.10.5
 ---------------- Hub & computers of address  
                   192.168.10.*

You see, there are two class C networks. One is that
of 203.147.175.0
The other is 12.168.10.0. Both these networks are
passing thru same switch. 

I just wanted to be sure that there is nothing wrong
with this configuration. So, I would request your
comments please.

bye
shiraz
