I was just reading the route man pages the other day and noticed that I could
add my own static routing stables :-D I'm curious, I have a home network setup,
if I was to use route to create my own routing table to be used with my
internal network, would that increase the efficiently of my Linux MASQing
machine?

For example, I could build my routing table like this:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref   Use Iface
192.168.0.1          *             255.255.255.255 UH       0      0       0 eth1
192.168.0.3     192.168.0.1   255.255.255.255 UGH     0      0       0 eth1
192.168.0.2     192.168.0.1   255.255.255.255 UGH     0      0       0 eth1
192.168.0.0     *                  255.255.255.0     U         0      0       0 eth1
MyBroadcast   ISPGateway  255.255.255.0     U         0      0       0 eth0
My IP             ISPGateway  255.255.255.0     U         0      0       0 eth0
127.0.0.0       *                   255.0.0.0            U         0      0   0 lo
default            ISPGateway  0.0.0.0               UG       0      0    0 eth0

Forgice me for the lousy print out :-D

Does this do what I think it does?? Do I need to set up RIP on my machine or is
it enabled by default? Is there a more efficient way of doing this? And do I
need to setup the routing table on the clients machines as well?

Thanks in advance
