Just make sure that there are entries in the routing table for the machine on which the DNS server is situated, so that it can send packets to both sub-nets as required.

The Network Administrator's Guide describes all this very succinctly. http://www.tldp.org/LDP/nag/node1.html#SECTION001000000 > On Mon, 2004-08-23 at 21:50, Christopher Sawtell wrote: > > On Mon, 23 Aug 2004 21:46, David Upex wrote: > > > Because I've got two nics (plus a modem) on the my linux box, I thought > > > the two network cards they would have to be on seperate subnets.
