We at SARA are currently switching to flamethrower setup. If we enable flamethrower the conenctivity test is different then
with rsync, from /etc/init.d/rcS


#   Ping test
ping_test() {
    echo
    echo ping_test

    if [ ! -z "$FLAMETHROWER_DIRECTORY_PORTBASE" ]; then
        PING_DESTINATION=$GATEWAY
        HOST_TYPE="default gateway"
    else
        PING_DESTINATION=$IMAGESERVER
    fi
    echo
    echo "Pinging your $HOST_TYPE to ensure we have network connectivity."
    echo


My question is why?

Our flamethrower server is the same as our rsync-server. If we can ping it then everything is oke. The other problem we have 2 network cards in our machines:
- One for booting/sysadm stuff
- The other for the users


The user-lan has an default gateway specified as dhcp-option. This lan
is not up when we install an node. That the reason why we ran into this
problem. We have no gateway and the install will fail.

                Regards
