It was my understanding that IP will compare the source subnet mask to the
source IP address, and if the destination IP address/subnet mask combo
doesn't put it on the same network as the source, the packet will
automatically be forwarded to the default gateway. A router would then have
to forward the packet to the right interface, even if it is on the same
interface. So if there were 2 networks like that in the same broadcast
domain, they would have to go through a router to talk to eachother. Someone
please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks,
