Not really - - - - I only want stuff to be accessible from the 'house' lan.

Hmmmmmmmm - - - - this set of questions/suggestions is why I \'m
asking questions.
There will be a plethora of sensors, a smaller number of SoC kind of
systems - - - some
of which manage parts of things and sometimes function as 'data recorders'.
I had no idea that I could have two networks (or maybe even more) on one
physical lan. Now - - - how do I find out the
limitations/challenges/and gotchas with
that idea?
