hello to everyone.
I ve read a little bit FAQs and examples but still cant catch an idea of the better way to implement my needs.
If you can help me with basic understanding I will be very appreciate.
Conditions:
I have 2 servers:
First - with public static ip let`s call it backup
Second - internal server in the local area network with 2 NIC and DHCP-server, transparent SQUID, IPTABLES, SAMBA services for about 20 Windows clients. One NIC for switch with clients in DHCP pool f.e. 172.100.0.0\24 and second NIC for router internal network (f.e. 192.168.0.0\24) and router with WAN static public ip address.
For some reason I need to store some data on the backup server. This data should be accessible via samba\cifs for windows client in "transparent mode" just like the second internal server(network share).
I cant even determine exactly what type TUN\TAP I need in that case. I suppose I need tap device on the internal server (in server mode).
But if you could push me in the right direction it would be great.
PS Ive read this
----
**You ONLY want to use dev tap if you are tunneling layer2 traffic, if you are using IP traffic you want tun. If you are using tap only for windows file sharing, look into running a WINS server instead.
----
but still cant get it. If it is does not matter if i will get the shares by ip address instead of name why should I need WINS in that case?
