The practical use for me is that the firewall I'm replacing has it configured and so I assume there may be some devices statically addressed to use the secondary gateway address. When I am onsite next I will test out those questions you asked.

If my INTIF has both 192.168.168.1 and 192.168.168.254 then I assume that any device on the local LAN could chose to connect to either of these IP addresses and all would be well. So any device on the LAN could ping to either .1 or .254 and get a reply. Am I correct in thinking that Astlinux would "reply" from the address that was used... so if I go to the web interface at 192.168.168.254 then Astlinux will reply from that and not from 192.168.168.1, or if I ping .254 then the reply will come from .254. What about a request initiated from Astlinux to an internal LAN device... say ping 192.168.168.99 from Astlinux... will that come from .1 or .254? Can it be specified? And would I even care? Just wondering what the practical uses of this are. Thanks David On Sun, Jun 23, 2019 at 5:40 PM Lonnie Abelbeck <li...@lonnie.abelbeck.com<mailto:li...@lonnie.abelbeck.com>> wrote: > Is this ok?
