hi all,
a host acting as a host is different from a host acting as a router of course.
putting a dynamic routing protocol (ex. routed, gated, etc) inside a host acting as
a host is a bad thing to do and besides dynamic routing protocol is only good at
the core/gateway border and not to local border.
to your problem william, let the DHCP do the job, you can put multiple gateway
entry inside dhcpd.conf to a particular host.
