When you address a packet to 2.2.2.10, that Linux box will look at your
routing table, and choose the network with the best match for that
packet, which is 1.1.1.0 with a mask of 255.255.255.0.
Teacher, teacher?
Did you really mean "which is 2.2.2.0 with a mask of 255.255.255.0"?
Or am I missing something subtle?
I know less than enough about network routing to be dangerous.
Yep, busted. Hopefully I didn't confuse anyone too bad. :)
