You need to send what is known as a 'directed broadcast' .
(Say)
Subnet A (10.0.0)<---- 10.0.0.1= [ ROUTER(jerry)] =10.0.1.1
----> Subnet B(10.0.1)
Do.
1) route add -net 10.0.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev i/f_A
2) route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev i/f_B
3) route add default .....
The way you cud send a directed brd is to send a pkt with dst. addr as
10.0.0.255 (if you want to brd to 10.0.0 subnet).
Pl. try it and blame me if it dosnet work !
btw, what r ur router's routing table entries?
