This really isn't an HLDS question, it's a Linux routing question. Does HLDS run on a multi-homed machine? Yes, it works fine. I used to have one doing it for years - between my LAN and the Internet. That proves HLDS can do it fine. But with that config, routing is easy... if it's for [private subnet] route through private interface otherwise route through default gateway - the Internet interface. For two Internet interfaces, you need to know the routing metrics to pick the best route to return to the client. For this, you need a real routing table. How to set that up is really way beyond the scope of this list. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
