dd-wrt

I currently have eth2 on my pfsense set up, and configured as 192.168.1.1, it has dhcp setup with allocation being 192.168.1.10 - 192.168.1.245.

On my dd-wrt box, i disabled the WAN, and set it to act as a port for the switch. I disabled dhcp, dnsmasq, spi firewall, Wlan0 and set a static IP for the router being 192.168.1.10

Pfsense is plugged into lan0 and pc plugged into lan1 (wan port is empty)

I have followed a few different guides, but i can't seem to get my router to act as a switch.

Anyone have success using DD-WRT as a switch while using pfsense as your dhcp/dns/gateway.

Any advice would help :)

SQL Server database with clustered GUID PKs - switch clustered index or switch to sequential (comb)

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
We have a database in which all the PKs are GUIDs, and most of the PKs are also the clustered index for the table. We know that this is bad (due to the random nature of GUIDs). So, it seems there are basically two options here (short of throwing out GUIDs as PKs altogether, which we cannot do (at… >>> More
