if you'd explain, I'd be grateful.
You will need to add the routes for the other subnet in your routing table as such.
route add -net XX.XX.XX.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
I believe there is a place to add static routes in one of the startup scripts (besides rc.local), but forget where it is, I think if you configure ifcfg-eth0:X sub-interfaces scripts ifup will create these routes.

Hi Ross et al,
I'm getting an error on adding the route. The machine's base IP is in the xx.xx.16.x /24. The additional IPs are in another /24. Base is physical, the others are virtual hosts.
The error on adding routes is: route: netmask doesn't match route address Usage: route [-nNvee] [-FC] [<AF>] List kernel routing tables route [-v] [-FC] {add|del|flush} ... Modify routing table for AF.
route {-h|--help} [<AF>] Detailed usage syntax for specified AF. route {-V|--version} Display version/author and exit.
-v, --verbose be verbose -n, --numeric don't resolve names -e, --extend display other/more information -F, --fib display Forwarding Information Base (default) -C, --cache display routing cache instead of FIB
<AF>=Use '-A <af>' or '--<af>'; default: inet List of possible address families (which support routing): inet (DARPA Internet) inet6 (IPv6) ax25 (AMPR AX.25) netrom (AMPR NET/ROM) ipx (Novell IPX) ddp (Appletalk DDP) x25 (CCITT X.25)
I know i'm probably being thick here, and I do appreciate the assistance. What am I missing?
Thanks again so very much, ~Ray
