I am unable to ping NE.TW.RKB.IP1 from an outside network. Other machines
which do not have access or routes for NET.WOR.KA.0 respond just fine.
How do I get it to respond on both NET.WOR.KA.0 and NE.TW.RKB.0 given all
default traffic should go through NET.WOR.KA.1 unless it is in reply to
traffic from NE.TW.RKB.1 or there is an outage.

Sorry for the top post. The default route is the route applied when no other route matches the destination IP. From that how would you figure out which default route to pick, only if the routes were weighted could you pick between two. If you had two routes with equal weight and the traffic went round robin between them then the originating host will discard half the returning traffic because it's not coming from the same ip it sent it to. No your best bet is probably to do reverse NAT'ing as it is simple to setup and you don't have to worry about default routes and weight. Traffic initiates on 1 gateway and sticks with it for the duration of the session. You can use BGP on the gateways outside interface to load balance or fail-over the default gateway or use round-robin DNS, MX records for mail, etc. -Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org <centos-bounces at centos.org> To: centos at centos.org <centos at centos.org> Sent: Tue Jan 29 18:03:13 2008 Subject: [CentOS] Re: Network routes on 1/29/2008 2:53 PM Jason Pyeron spake the following:> > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: centos-bounces at centos.org >> [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Ross S.

The default route is the route that packets need to take to leave your network to enter the outside world. Every thing under your control should have static routes of some kind, or a routing daemon. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

Normally routing is done toward a destination network/address without regard to the route of a packet you might be replying to. As for an 'outage', how do you define/detect the outage? Normally if you want routes to be determined dynamically you would set up a routing protocol with the next-hop routers - or for simple failover the alternative gateway routers might be configured via hsrp or vrrp to have a floating IP address that the rest of the LAN uses as the default gateway address.> [root at host20 ~]# route -n > Kernel IP routing table > Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use > Iface > NET.WOR.KA.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 > 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 > NE.TW.RKB.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 > 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 > 0.0.0.0 NET.WOR.KA.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 > 0.0.0.0 NE.TW.RKB.1 0.0.0.0 UG 20 0 0 eth0 >-- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
