Hello Brett;

Thanks a lot for the help on this issue.

The cure to the problem is...  Instead of hand-rolling my own
ifcfg-eth0:x files, I used the GUI.  Oddly enough this works.  The only
real difference I can see from A to B was that the subinterface files
had a LOT more detail to them.  More than I would have placed myself.

Another thing I did observe was when I would use the -route- command I
could see all sorts of default gateway entires.  Weird.  But now I see
one and only one.  Which is more what I expected.

So much for being such a command-line bigot.

FWIW I have seen questions about this previously but have not sen any
answers.  Perhaps it was you I don't  know.  try the archives at
marc.theaimsgroup.com.  They archive the linux-net list ....

In fact take a look at this and see if it is pointing in the right
direction.

 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-net&m=104930510428818&w=2

IF no luck try the linux-net list.  A couple of years ago a lot of the
coders working on the networking code were there.

HTH 

Bret
