Hello, Am writing to the list in the hope that someone out there might be able to help me make sure I have the right configuration here. I'm not all that au fait with routing using multiple interfaces. Some time ago I configured a web server to have two different IP addresses from two different network ranges on each of it's two ethernet cards. I followed the excellent instructions at http://lartc.org/lartc.html#AEN268 and came up with the following configuration: #!/bin/bash /sbin/ip route add 194.164.97.0 dev eth0 src 194.164.97.252 table T1 /sbin/ip route add default via 194.164.97.1 table T1 /sbin/ip route add 86.54.82.144 dev eth1 src 86.54.82.146 table T2 /sbin/ip route add default via 86.54.82.145 table T2 /sbin/ip route add 194.164.97.0 dev eth0 src 194.164.97.252 /sbin/ip route add 86.54.82.144 dev eth1 src 86.54.82.146 /sbin/ip route add default via 194.164.97.1 /sbin/ip rule add from 194.164.97.252 table T1 /sbin/ip rule add from 86.54.82.146 table T2 /sbin/iptables-save I'm uncertain if the last line is actually needed there. My understanding is that what is supposed to happen is that incoming traffic to 86.54.82.146 is correctly routed back through the same interface to the gateway at 86.54.82.145 and similarly traffic to 194.164.97.252 is routed back through 194.164.97.1. I test this using ping but it doesn't seem to work properly, whichever interface is set as the default route becomes just that. So 'ping -I eth0 lartc.org' works but 'ping -I eth1 lartc.org' doesn't. I've checked to make sure the kernel has the compile parameter IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES in it and it does. So I cannot work out where I've gone wrong. I've trawled back over the LARTC HOWTO and can't spot anything else. Can anyone help with this, or at least give me some pointers on things to try? Thanks in advance, Mike. -- ---------- Mike Harris Psand.net Tlf: +44 7811 671 893 / +34 69 676 3122 / +44 870 162 4927 ext 2 Fax: +44 870 162 4925 Web: http://psand.net PGP: http://www.psand.net/mike/mike.gpg.pub IRC: irc://irc.psand.net:6667/#psand ---------- Psand Limited is registered in England and Wales company number 03291616.
