Greetings,
I wonder if anyone has experience with routing to help
me plan the simplest way of reliably linking 2 sites.

I have 2 (pebble-soekris) Access Points up,
not in radio range of each other.
The second AP's Internet link is not a long-term solution.

So, I did a test.  I found a spot where I can
put up an antenna (CB3 client bridge) and get a signal from A
and I can put up an antenna and get a signal from B.

So, transitively speaking, if A can talk to C and C to A,
then A can talk to B.

But, I would prefer not to put up another antenna at B,
so I was thinking, another pebble could connect to both
AP's as a client, and then the routing table on AP B
could be set up with default route via A?

I know - don't need to test - that it would NOT work
with the default netmask and same network number.
Clients would try to route around the AP, and
things would break, but I was thinking of some possibilities...

A) funny netmask at C?
B) virtual interface on wlan0:1
It would be a real no-brainer if wlan0 interface
would allow a completely different network address,
because the networks are on different class C subnets of 10.xxx

If this could work, I might be able to do it with 2 CB3's
back-to-back.


Thanks
Seth
