Thanks for all the feedbacks I received.
To give you a simple description on what I did:
here in our organization, engineers do support global
clients regarding problems they encounter together
with our AV product. for all simulations, we implemented
a different network which will not affect our production
network. now since we have three teams on my dept, we
created 3 subnets. we used IPCHAINS to handle masquerading
and address translation.
now i placed my file server on one of the subnet and the problem
is how will the two network access the server. what i did
was to create 2 virtual ips to resolve the issue.
previuosly, the server was running in "promiscious mode" and cannot
ping the 2 virtual ips.
since i still don't know some of the howtos or know hows in
Linux, i formatted my server. eventually i created again 2 virtual ips
and now 3 networks can access the server withour adding any
route on my file server,,,how??? well anyway it works.
thanks again for the help given.

Don't forget, the members of 10.10.20.0 probably won't see 10.10.30.0
unless you set all your netmasks to 255.255.0.0. Since your particular
machine has links to all three subnets, you may want to make it your
gateway between the three subnets. Keep netmask at 255.255.255.0 and have
the member units use your machine as gateway.
Question, though. Why so many? Isn't one enough for your needs?
