Dear list members, I have two subnets (10.X.X.X and 193.X.X.X) on the same physical network (ethernet). Subnet 10.X.X.X has its own 10.R.R.R router, which is forwarding packets to the internet (via DSL), Subnet 193.X.X.X has also its own 193.R.R.R router which is also forwarding packets to the internet (via a very slow analogical connection), The 193.R.R.R router is a FreeBSD(i386) 4.7 - RELEASE box.
What I need, is to forward some of the packets (depending on the final destination) of the 193.X.X.X subnet to the 10.R.R.R router via the 193.R.R.R router. 193.X.X.X ---> 193.R.R.R ---> internet | v 10.X.X.X ---> 10.R.R.R ---> internet I am using two ethernet cards on the 193.R.R.R and its network configuration follows: network_interfaces="rl0 rl1 lo0" ifconfig_rl0="inet 193.R.R.R netmask 255.255.255.240" ifconfig_rl1="inet 10.A.A.A netmask 255.255.255.0" hostname="router.of.subnet" defaultrouter="10.R.R.R" gateway_enable="YES" The result is that the 193.R.R.R router can access both subnets but cannot forward packet from the one to the other. The situation does not get any better even if I add the following lines: static_routes="adsl" route_ adsl ="-net target_subnet 10.R.R.R" In all cases we have static routes and routed is disabled. My questions are: 1) Is it appropriate/feasible to use routing in this case, where we don't have physically separated subnets? If not, what should be used instead? 2) Any hints, corrections or pointers to the docs? Thanks in Advance Jim Xohellis ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
