I've been managing two CentOS based OpenVZ servers for the past few years and I would like to consolidate the two physical servers into a single physical Proxmox managed server.
The setup is currently this:
-------- 192.168.120 subnet----- OpenVZ Server 1
Firewall ---<
-------- 192.168.121 subnet----- OpenVZ Server 2
The servers run on different subnets with their own gateway and access between the subnets is managed by an upstream firewall. The OpenVZ servers are managed with OVZ-Web-panel and configured with venet network devices.
What I would like is the same network setup but using one physical machine with two NIC's but I'm not sure exactly how to achieve this and ensure the setup is flexible and easily managed.
The HN should be on the 192.168.121 subnet as well. I've read a number of posts regarding various network setups but I just seemed to have confused myself and not sure what I need to do to achieve this.
Thanks,
Mike

- I assume that bridging will be required to achieve a two-nic, two subnet, two gateway configuration?
- Will I need to change the CT's from venet's to veth's in order for them to be added to a bridge? I need to read up a bit more on this but form the few things I've read, it seems to be the case
- Linux bridge or OVS?
