Huh? They _must_ be on different subnets. You can't route one subnet across multiple network interfaces. Besides, a router always knows how to route packets between its own directly-attached networks, no additional routes are necessary. The problem here is that a route needs to be added for 192.168.10.0/24 -> 192.168.0.100 in the upstream router(s), since the upstream router(s) do not currently know to send any packets destined for 192.168.10.0/24 to 192.168.0.100 for delivery. The upstream router is currently sending these packets to its own default gateway, which is likely even further upstream. IP routers aren't mind-readers, you have to tell them exactly where to send packets, but usually that is very simple. Running a routing protocol (such as RIP) on both the FreeBSD box in question and the upstream router(s) would automatically add the same route for you, but that is unnecessary in such a simple network configuration. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon(at)wolves.k12.mo.us FreeBSD: The fastest, most open, and most stable OS on the planet - Available for IA32, IA64, AMD64, PC98, Alpha, and UltraSPARC architectures - PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, and S/390 under development - http://www.freebsd.org Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
