RE: [CentOS] Outbound connections not using primary eth0 IP

Filipe:

I removed the GATEWAY line from the :0 and :1 files and now everything seems to be working perfectly.

I don't understand how that works since the IP addresses from :0 and :1 are on a different subnet than the one for eth0 and they have a different gateway. I guess I don't understand the finer points of networking.

The solution worked and I am thankful for that.

Thanks, Neil

Because you have two different default gateways. In that case, Linux will "rotate" between them, using one or the other for each outgoing packet.
