Hi folks,

in the last months I've published more than 150 Debian howtos which
are online now at  http://www.asconix.com/howtos/debian

The howtos are covering the following topics so far:

* Debian as infrastructure (BIND, Samba ...)
* Webservers (Apache2, Nginx, Lighttpd ...)
* Databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, CouchDB, Redis, ...)
* CMS's (Plone, Drupal, ...)
* Virtualization (Xen, VMware ESX ...)
* Backup (Bacula, rsync ...)
* E-Mail  Groupware (Postfix, Dovecot, OpenXchange, Zarafa ...)
* VoIP (Asterisk, Gemeinschaft ...)
* E-Commerce (Magento, OXID VirtueMart ...)
* Media (XBMC, MediaTomb, Coherence, Fuppes ...)
* Desktop Environments  Window Managers (XFCE, Awesome, XMonad,
StumpWM ...)
* Development (Ruby on Rails, Java, Lua ...)

... and so much more ;-) Few of the howtos are translated, the non-
translated are self-explanatory (I hope so ;-)). And if anyone of you
has time and fun to work on this documentation project, please let me
know. I've some further drafts in my pipeline for the next few weeks
(e.g. Hadoop  Cassandra, Dropbox clone, High Availability etc.). So
stay tuned and please leave comments at the bottom of the howtos.

Cheerio,
Chris


I really like the idea of a howto collection, but I would like it even 
more if it were available under something.debian.org
btw where would be the appropriate place for such howtos in the debian 
infrastructure? wiki? ..?


cheers

Dear All
I have put my windows machine behind my debian firewall server with
just one NIC. At now, the windows machine can ping 192.9.9.3 but
cannot resolve valid url (like www.google.com). I have set DNS for it
as well. Can you please let me know what is the missing step?
Thank you




Did you check whether your firewall blocks port 53 (DNS)?

Re: Multiple Network Gateways

2011-07-15 Thread Johannes Obermueller

Hi,




reyiz# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface
10.10.98.96 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0  00 eth0
192.168.100.0   0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0  00 eth1
0.0.0.0 192.168.100.98  0.0.0.0 UG0  00 eth1
0.0.0.0 10.10.98.1100.0.0.0 UG0  00 eth0

--8---cut here---end---8---

The problem here is that there exists two entries in the routing table
for 0.0.0.0 network pointing to both eth0 and eth1. But I just want to
have 192.168.100.0 network requests to be handled by eth1, the rest
should be redirected to eth0. That is, the desired routing table is as
follows.

--8---cut here---start-8---
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface
10.10.98.96 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0  00 eth0
192.168.100.0   192.168.100.98  255.255.255.0   U 0  00 eth1
0.0.0.0 10.10.98.1100.0.0.0 UG0  00 eth0
--8---cut here---end---8---

How should I configure /etc/network/interfaces to have such a routing
scheme?


1) To get rid of the second default route, your /etc/network/interfaces 
should like this:


auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.10.98.100
 netmask 255.255.255.240
 network 10.10.98.96
 broadcast 10.10.98.111
 gateway 10.10.98.110
 dns-nameservers 10.10.10.11 10.10.10.12
 dns-search ozun.int

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
 address 192.168.100.100
 netmask 255.255.255.0


so you just have to remove the following line:
 gateway 192.168.100.98

then you should get:

--8---cut here---start-8---
reyiz# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse 
Iface

10.10.98.96 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0  00 eth0
192.168.100.0   0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0  00 eth1
0.0.0.0 10.10.98.1100.0.0.0 UG0  00 eth0
--8---cut here---end---8---


2) As lee already wrote, it seems a bit strange that you want to use 
192.168.100.98 as gateway to the 192.168.100.0 network. AFAIK you have 
to do it in a startup script or manually (as you did), I don't know of 
any way to specify this in your /etc/network/interfaces file.


The man page of route says the following:

   gw GW  route  packets  via a gateway.  NOTE: The specified 
gateway must be reachable first. This usually means that you have to set 
up a static  route  to  the  gateway  beforehand.  If you specify the 
address of one of your local interfaces,  it  will  be  used  to decide 
about the interface to which the packets should be routed to. This is a 
BSDism compatibility hack.


The problem is, that with your current routing table:
 reyiz# route -n
 Kernel IP routing table
 Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref 
Use Iface
 10.10.98.96 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0  0 
 0 eth0
 0.0.0.0 10.10.98.1100.0.0.0 UG0  0 
 0 eth0

 --8---cut here---end---8---

you don't have a static route to the 192.168.100.98, therefore it gives 
you the error message.
So what you have to do is to set up a static route to 192.168.100.98 
first and then add your route to 192.168.100.0 that goes through 
192.168.100.98. That should work.


Anyway, why exactly do you want to route the packets to 192.168.100.0 
through 192.168.100.98?



Moreover, I tried to create such a routing scheme manually. First, I
removed the eth1 entries:

--8---cut here---start-8---
reyiz# route del -net 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1
reyiz# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface
10.10.98.96 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0  00 eth0
0.0.0.0 10.10.98.1100.0.0.0 UG0  00 eth0
--8---cut here---end---8---

So far, so good. But I couldn't add a new routing entry for eth1. That
is,

--8---cut here---start-8---
reyiz# route add -net 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.100.98
SIOCADDRT: No such process
--8---cut here---end---8---

I will be really appreciated for any help.


Best.
