I'm currently investigating setting up a wireless hotspot with multiple internal networks (routed through to chilli) all going through the same external connection. I've successfully managed to set up a test environment with a single internal network, with coova, freeradius, openldap and NAT. I'm running the FC5 rpm of 1.0.11, downloaded from coova.org.

On the coova machine, I've got 2 network interfaces. Eth0 is connected to the external connection, and eth1 is connected to the internal network on 192.168.0.1/24. There's another router at 192.168.0.2, behind which sits 192.168.2.0/24. This router isn't doing NAT or anything like that.

Before starting the coova daemon, after adding the route in I can ping from the other net to this box, and vice versa. However, after starting coova (and obviously putting the route back in), I can only ping to/from the network that's directly connected to the box. If I set a value for the dynamic addressing range that excludes 192.168.0.2, I can't ping to/from there. I've set the uamanyip option, but this hasn't had any effect.

I've been looking through documentation and I've done a quick search but I can't seem to find anyone who's tried anything similar.

So, I guess my question is: Is the above possible? And if it is possible? Any pointers on where I might be going wrong?
