Parents

[Jon Lyons]

I'd just create the dumb hub like any other object, but set the IP address to 127.0.0.1, or maybe the outside (hub side)ip address of your firewall....

I've got a firewall with two inside ports. One goes to a managed switch
on the trusted network, the other to a dumb hub which is my DMZ. I'd
like to show the dumb hub but because it has no IP address how can I?

right now the firewall is a parent to the switch and all systems on the
trusted network have the switch as a parent. 

On the DMZ side though, all systems have the firewall as a parent
directly. 

Could I add a "Fake" host to represent the dumb hub and then set the DMZ
systems to use that as a parent? Or would this cause problems?

thanks,
