I trued what you suggested and the eth1 interface stalls to come up. It just wont. All ssh sessions get disconnected and everything stops working I did: [root at meowbox network-scripts]# cat route-eth1 10.0.0.0/8 via 10.0.254.1 I found: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-static-routes.html So I changed it to: [root at meowbox network-scripts]# cat route-eth1 10.0.0.0/8 via 10.0.254.1 dev eth1 and commented out the GATEWAY= line in ifcfg-eht1 and the interface comes up. Testing ssh and the websites, they seem to be fine. Thank you for this lesson. Jason
