what nate said is closest to what i am asking for.
my network is a bit tricky. the linux box eth0 is connecting to internet. the eth1 is connecting to one of the VLan. what i am trying to achive is to do a portforwarding for smtp to a different lan which is not the 192.168.0.0 network. i hv tried the 2 gateways setting, so far no luck. on 11 Oct 2002 13:07:48 +0800, Crispin Wellington wrote > On Fri, 2002-10-11 at 12:56, nate wrote: > > Elizabeth Barham said: > > > "nate" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > > > >> david hong said: > > > > > So, if there is a host 192.168.0.11, and David attempts to ping it, > the > > > packet may *not* go out eth1 (in this example)? > > > > it might go out eth1, I am not certain. but 192.168.0.11 is a locally > > connected system which doesn't require a gateway to access. the > > problem comes into play when your trying to route through the gateway > > on the 2nd interface in my experience. > > I agree.
