This machine is actually sitting in the ISP's datacenter. It works perfectly fine, I added the proper /32 netmask ifconfig at the top of my inetinit script. >with that configuration.

Not really, using -iface argument you can reach any machine that is on the same physical network. route add -host GW_IP -iface DOM0_IP route add default GW_IP ping google.com google.com is alive > >Are you sure you don't want to configure a point-to-point interface to an ISP >endpoint instead? > >> I have in my /etc/netmasks : >> >> DOM0_IP 255.255.255.255 >> >> but when I reboot, my netmask and broadcast is set incorrectly: > >First, I don't believe that you can use names in /etc/netmasks.
