There are presently two subnets on the lan, 192.168.209.0 and 192.168.209.0. I believe that the present netmask is correct in these circumstances.
um, those are both the same? I assume you meant one of them to be different?
You are correct. I mistyped.
I have host A with eth0[aaa.bbb.ccc.A] and eth1[192.168.216.A]
I have host B with eth0[aaa.bbb.ccc.B] and eth1[192.168.209.B]
and I have host C as the gateway with eth0 being the WAN and eth1 being the LAN. Eth1 on C has the address [aaa.bbb.ccc.1] assigned to it and has the alias [192.168.0.1] as well.
I want traffic from 192.168.216.A addressed to 192.168.209.B to go to eth1 on B. Instead it goes to Eth0 on C where it dies as one would expect.
I am not terribly familiar with routing so I expect that I am doing something wrong that is obvious yet invisible to me. This is an experimental set up so that I can explore these issues before inflicting them on my unsuspecting users.
