I don't think your routing needs are too advanced. Simply adding two routes to the normal setup, so that all traffic on the 172.x.x.x and 173.x.x.x subnets are sent out that particular interface, should do the trick. Also you will have the standard route for the internal network and a default route to he internet at large. By the way is 173.x.x.x a valid routable internet address? Its not in the "private" range (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16). > > Currently I am experimenting with slackware 10.1 as the base, but if > another dist is better I will get it. > Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me some > pointers/help? > > Thanks, > From Kim > -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
