Hi,

This is being done on a linux PC with three interfaces.* Ignore interface
eth0.* The linux PC connects to a switch that connects it to the rest of my
network.. *Eth1 and eth1:1* is are external facing interfaces with public
I.Ps. Eth3 is facing my internal network with a private I.P address.

The *problem* is: When the internal interface (eth3) is up, I cannot reach
the rest of my public network from eth1:1 and cannot reach the internal
network too using eth3.

However, with the internal interface down, eth3 in this case, I can reach
the rest of my network from both interfaces eth1 and eth1:1

How can I keep both my external interfaces and internal interface up and
still be able to reach the rest of the network (External network) and my
internal hosts (that use private I.Ps) too?

Is that clear enough? :)
