Q: 2NIC Inbound and outbound + DHCP

Hi guys,

 

I have two questions for the smart people out there, please:

 

First Question:

I am busy setting up a server with two network cards, inbound (WAN or WiFi) and outbound (Thunderbolt Ethernet) with a DHCP server only running on the outbound traffic. What static address do I make the server IP address so that it will still be in the DHCP range? and have internet on the MacServer ?

 

Second Question:

I have a 1000 people thats going to connect (Wifi Hot-Spot) to this server and only for an hour at a time to fill in a form that im hosting VIA the web.

What will be the best setup, to set the IP range on the DHCP to?

I did some Googeling and found the IP range to be: 10.10.0.1  -  10.10.15.254, 255.255.240.0 that will give me 4090 ip's and that will be more than enough?

 

Thank you

Kind Regards
