Stefan, I don't know if you've resolved this yet, but in one of Charles' PGP messages he says not to worry about it, the tables will take cares of themselves... If you have IP Masquerading set correctly, there is no need to set RIP or routing tables. If you see a lag in efficiency, maybe there is another problem/process that has used up your CPU/Memory resources. I do know that if you are running pump, and have bound anything to port 68 after the first DHCP lease is obtained, pump will eventually get very jealous and start using more and more resources until it selfishly eats up 98+% of CPU time. (It took me a long time to figure this one out!) How do you have ipchains configured for masquerading? What kind of PC is doing your firewalling? Is it also used as a workstation? --Greg ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stefan Srdic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > 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??
