Thank you for your patience. If you could help me understand one more part I think I will have it. The part I don't understand is what IP to assign to the alias. Here is my complete config: subnet 166.66.66.192 mask 166.66.66.224 Gateway 166.66.66.193 <- eth0 Wan0 192.168.104.2 <- Wan0 Other hosts 166.66.66.194-222 What is the address that I would assign to wan0:0? > > l1 and l2 are only needed because route seems not to accept a > gateway route > over a special device if there is no route to the gateway to that device. > I don't know if it is the kernel or route itself which does this > check - but > adding a host route and then deleting it works for us. > > With the above: if a application lets choose the kernel the ip-address > it will use aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd if the default route applies. > - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
