Hello all, I was just wondering If i could do this.. Local___ public_________Gateway1 Subnet IP local net |------192.168.1.1--| Internet 192.168.1.0-----| |-------202.202.1.1 |------202.202.1.6--| here goes my routing table at any subnet say 192.168.1.2 i want some thing like this 1] route to 202.202.1.0/24 via 192.168.1.1 2] default gateway via 202.202.1.1 but at second routing configuration I get host unreachable error by both route and ip route command.. Though there is route to 202 network via 192.168.1.1 it says unreachable but I can ping to 202 network.. what should I do to achieve this? Why I need to do is for dead gateway detection, I do not want to check the nexthop reachable or not, i need to know if ISP is reachable.. Any support will be grateful!! regards Vadiraj C S _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
