You can define different gateways depending on target hosts/networks. The default gateway "takes the rest". Example: ip route add to 192.168.99/24 via 192.168.42.12 sets up host 192.168.42.12 as gateway to the subnet 192.168.99.xxx regards - -- t -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlfTHrsACgkQBcgs9XrR2kbGbgCaAxwUHaUbxd45A/uRHlY/fjXU 3G8An1A7UWJS/kHfnjblNycPBPBMCTHH =3Ya9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
