If a IF that is configged in the firewall goes down the Firewall
(Firewall-1, CheckPoint) freaks out totally.

So i have to set it up with a private network between theire LAN and our
PM3 so the isdn IF us up all the time.

Ive set it up like this and it works but i just wanted to check if its
the correct way.

Sun machine: 194.52.72.1 / 255.255.255.0
Sun ISDN IF: 172.16.2.2
PM3: 172.16.1.1 / 255.255.255.0
Private net: 172.16.2.0

Config Sun:

Link between 172.16.2.2 -> 172.16.2.1

But when they connect with the isdn the link is between 172.16.2.2 ->
172.16.1.1 (I understand why)

Config PM3:

When they connect they get the IP 172.16.2.1 / 255.255.255.0

Its easier to explain this in swedish ;)

Thanks!
