RE: honeyd and cable modem

Roshen,

One other issue, what would I use as the gateway on the host?  Currently it gets its gateway from dhcp.

If I got you correctly Craig, the problem seems to be that the Honeyd
virtual honeypot has to listen for an IP that is currently assigned to
the Honeyd host, and you have only 1 IP to spare between the Honeyd host
and the virtual honeypot. 

You could bind the virtual honeypot to the IP provided by the cable
modem in the honeyd.conf file, and assign just any other invalid IP to
the Honeyd host itself. You can run Arpd to respond to arp requests for
the IP provided by the cable modem, and the Honeyd host will thus pick
up the packets and hand them over to the Honeyd virtual honeypot. 

Thanks!
