I have been doing a bit of planning related to subnetting a
class C for our ehternet. One of the problems that I ran into was
that if I used RIP the entire network had to be on the same
subnetmask, since RIP doesn't deal with subnet masks. This was a
real pain since I have a couple of machines that will need to have
alliased addresses (WWW and FTP servers) and they will each use up a
large portion of a subnet each if masked as 255.255.255.240.
What complications occur if a particular machine has a single IP
address and needs to communicate with a machine on a different
subnet even though they share a single ethernet. I have done this
before by manually adding the routes to the routing table but the
connections seam extremely slow in establishment. Once the
connection is made everything seams to be ok but the broadcast
addresses are obviously out of different blocks which may be causing
problems. Theoretically it shouldn't be a problem but practice can
be a different thing all together.
