I have a gateway machine to a local ethernet network (198.162.X.X).
In the past, this machine would dial into an ISP and route all non-local
network traffic through the ppp interface.
Well, I have changed providers, and now I obtain my ip address using DHCP
over ethernet (through cable modem). The tool I am using to establish the
connection (dhclient) grabs an address and assigns it as the ip address of
the eth0 device and sets my default gateway to that of the host network.
This is obviously bad because now the gateway machine does not know that it
belongs to the 198.182.X.X network, and the other machines cannot reach it.
Is there some way that I can have the gateway machine be on two networks at
once (both the dhcp network and the local network)?
Does the soln involve getting the eth0 device to think that it has 2 ip
addresses?
