I think the confusion is the difference between "router" and "routing". Basically, all IP devices have a routing table and use it to route outbound packets. The only difference between hosts and routers is that hosts only route locally generated packets out, while routers also route packets they receive back out (i.e. forwarding). Any IP device can use complex routing decisions (e.g. policy routing) to route outbound packets; the more interfaces a device has, the more complex the routing can become. -- Chris Adams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
