That sounds reasonable. >> -----Original Message----- >> From: owner-m...@openbsd.org [mailto:owner-m...@openbsd.org] On Behalf Of >> Lars Bonnesen ... >> and if so, how do I make sure that mygate does not get overwritten from >> dhcp? So this is a bit different to Theodore's setup as you want a static gatewy. The simplest method is probably to allow dhclient to set the 0.0.0.0/0 default route itself, and add lines like these to hostname.if !route add 0.0.0.0/1 $gw_address !route add 128.0.0.0/1 $gw_address That way dhclient can add and remove addresses as it wants and it won't interfere with your real gateway. (Some of the tun-based VPN clients use the same trick).
