Yes. That's the point, I want to manually set up my ip addresses, and I know
you don't need to run rtadvd & friends then. I can get it working perfectly
in other OS'es (freebsd, openbsd), but not in linux (bit different route
syntax I guess).
So I just wonder about the right commands to set up all routes from scratch
in linux, because I think I usually throw in a couple of unnecessary routes
and generally do some rather weird stuff to get it going, and if someone just
gives me the right commands or/and the proper rationale for linux, I do it
the correct way for once and for all.
I thought this wasn't such a hard question... Or is this the wrong list for
such an inquiry?
