You need to do ip-masquerading to pass traffic thru a linux box as a gateway. That requires 2 NICs and an iptables script which does masquerading

I use this script to setup that kind of box: http://ldp.hughesjr.com/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/stronger-firewall-examples...

Is it absolutely necessary to use IP-Masq / NAT in order to setup Linux as a Router?

I'm trying to setup a few Linux machines (Centos of course) as convential routers as opposed to Gateways so that I can learn more about routing between them on various Subnets.

All the How-To's I've found talk about Masq, I would appreciate if anyone can point me in the direction of a convential Linux router howto.

Thanks in advance
