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. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
