I've been working on a similar setup only with with two ethernet cards, one for the lan and the other for internet access. The problem I've been having is that when I attempt to specify the device I get an error: "SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument" when I load the commandline route add -net [local net address] dev eth0 or route add -net [wan address] dev eth1 Both interfaces recieve correctly but all outbound is going through the latter (eth1) interface. I'd love to know how to get this to work correctly. Mark
