In the machines in the real serv and loc zone, the settings are:
serv:
SM: 255.255.255.0
GA: ABD.DEF.75.14
loc:
SM: 255.255.255.0
GA: ABD.DEF.75.255

In fact the 75 subnet in not really divided in two subnets, they remain
one, but there is only a difference in GATEWAY between the serv machines
and the loc machines.

In SuSE 10.2 Linux, whenever I change a Gateway adress for one network
interface, is automatically changes for any other network interface in
the same thing (as does also when you change the hostname).


If I read the netstat -nr tables the routing looks to follow the directions
I want.


The setup worked for years in Shorewall 1.0.3 and also in my test setup
in Shorewall 4.0.6.
