right, but i still need the default route pointing to the outside across my 4 block to my upstream, correct? > >>However if I do it as I have seen described in some howtow's: >>route add -net 10.1.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 gw 10.1.1.2 >> >>route does not complain, but i cannot ping eth0 from eth1 or vice versa >>with a destination host unreachable! > > > you have told the machine to send packets destined for 10.1.5.0 to > 10.1.1.2 and since it is the same machine, it just loops. or pukes I > guess. > >>I guess my question is: Am I over-complexifying this?
