I'd've expected that to work.
What does your routing table look like? You can view it with "netstat -
nr". I believe when a Linux network interface is ifconfig'd, the kernel
will add a route for that interface based on the netmask in the ifconfig,
but you could conceivably have another route that is broader overriding
the specific route.
