I hate to disagree with someone else on the list but my experience would tell me that doing the above alone will not be enough to have the box take advantage of 2 gateways. I've worked for several hours trying such configurations to no avail. one of my former co workers managed to get partial functionality with dual gateways by using the 2.4.x kernel and policy routing(none of my systems are 2.4.x and I have never tried policy routing) your free to try of course but I believe all packets will go out the first gateway that is established. and don't try changing the metrics on the routes, this has no effect on them unfortunately. you can search the list for my posts in the past(about a year ago), probably has the word 'multihome' in it. you'll also have to configure your system to re-write the source address of outgoing packets from eth1, this can be done in policy routing as well I believe. It's not easy, it wasn't worth it for me. It would be easier perhaps if you used a routing protocol such as RIP or BGP and a software daemon to handle routing, but that adds a whole new layer of complexity, my networks use static routing. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
