I have a box here with two interfaces, each on a different subnet. One of these interfaces is public, and appears in DNS. The other is private, and is meant to be used for local boot-time file serving and DHCP.
When the private interface is brought up, other machines with interfaces on the private network can no longer talk to the box. They want to talk to the public interface; but the dual-homed machine thinks they are martians. Is there a config option that will allow this to work? As I see it, a packet arriving at an interface whose destination address is that interface should usually be allowed, no matter what its source address is (providing it's not the 127.0.0.0 network, of course!)
