Before compiling a kernel, check if the default kernel already has it. The kernel-source package has the config files used for the different kernels supplied by RedHat. > 3.

But be sure to first understand how the initscripts initialize the networking stuff.You will have to disable most, if not all, of this, and add the new commands in. Hopefully, RedHat will switch all networking stuff to iproute2 in the near future. > At 19:36 2002/06/28 -0400, Kalin Mintchev wrote: > > > > > >hi all, > > > >how can i have two default gateways in one linux box? > > > >what i tried so far was put another entry for GATEWAY in > >/etc/sysconfig/networks but after it loads both the second one becomes the > >"default" one and if that network goes down both ethernet interfaces go > >down... As an alternative to iproute2, you can try to configure a dynamic routing protocol, like RIP (careful) or OSPF (recomended). This might be tricky, but in the end will make your servers more resilient to network failures, since they will be aware of them. RedHat ships the "zebra" package which has support for this routing protocols and others. You might check it out. Cheers, -- Javier Gostling Ingeniero de Sistemas Virtualia S.A.
