Have you though about placing a router at that hard configured default gateway address, which forwards the packets to your BSD router (or sends ICMP redirects)? Alternatively, just configure that address on the internal interface of the router as an -alias. > What I need to have happen is for the incoming packets to the > problematic device to have a source address in that private subnet > (the internal address of the router) so that the device sends return > packets to the right place instead of its configured default gateway > (which is not the router). Sounds like an typical use case for NAT to me (inbound nat-to). Alternatively, beam yourself into that network using some kind of L2 VPN. Possibilities would be EtherIP (gif(4)) or vxlan(4) over IPsec(4) or OpenVPN respectively. -- David Dahlberg Fraunhofer FKIE, Dept.
