We are running with three (3) NICs in our Imail server. One NIC for our
Internet Connection, one for internal POP and one for internal SMTP. Poor
mans load balancing, if you will, since each client points to the pop
interface and the smtp interface for their respective protocols.
Set the Internet NIC default gateway to the internet router and leave the
default gateways for the other two NIC's empty. We then manually defined
persistent routes for our entire internal network that point to the site
router. It was about 20-30 routes at most and can be recreated in a batch
file in case of a disaster.
Works well for us.
