    Greetings! I am running a test server at home as a sandbox to play with for getting ready to take certification tests. Currently I have my external line coming into en0 [built-in Ethernet] – and my private network line coming out of en1 [added-on 10/100 Ethernet PCI card].

    I heard that Open Directory binds to en0 automatically – and well, I’d rather not be sending out OD stuff on my external line to the public.

    Is there an easy way, that I don’t have to re-install OS X Server to switch these ports around? Do I have to worry about things getting totally hosed up? I know if you change your IP after initial; config, that things get messy – this is moreso just switching the private and public Ethernet ports…

    Thanks in advance – this is a great site!

    Well, I switched the Ethernet configs around [public and private] and also swapped the cables – and things still seem to be working… Let me know of there anything to be wary of.

    I made sure to turn off DHCP and NAT before doing it, and also made sure to switch NAT to be active on the other Ethernet port as well. 🙂

    Thanks in advance!
