I think this is what you want to do?

R1 --fibre-- R2

LAN1 LAN2



but R1 and R2 are not (afaict) actually 3-port routers - they only have 2 IPs - one for the WAN and one for the internal eth port connected to the presented 'switch ports'.

I'd buy 2 more super simple routers and do:


Yes, you are correct, they each have only two interfaces. I was planning to ultimately do this:

Code:
ISP                ISP
 |                  |
 R1                 R2
 |                  |
LAN1--R3--fiber-- LAN2


R3 would handle the static routes to LAN 1 and LAN2. Shouldn't this work with proper static routing? My present setup uses only 2 routers to sort out the static routing issues. It looks like this:

Code:
ISP       
 |
 R1
 |
LAN1--R2--LAN2


R1 has static route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.2. This allows traffic on LAN1 to reach LAN2. I have not found a way to get traffic on LAN2 to reach LAN1 which I would very much like to get working before I try something more elaborate.

Thanks for your help!
