Does anyone know if it is possible to set an off-subnet broadcast address on
an interface? Ex:
ifconfig le0 inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.3.255
Unfortunately, I'm not in front of a box now, so I can't try it. Has anyone
had any experience with such a configuration or a similar type of
configuration?
Thanks.
