Dear Linux network people,
Should it be possible to set a default gateway that is 2 hops away?
I have a router on my local subnet that can route to another
network in which there is a desired default gateway that will route
to the rest of the world. I get a "SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable"
error when I try to set the default gateway though...
[root@rhone /root]# route -n

I'm using kernel 2.2.2, glibc 2.1, and a redhat 5.2 distribution.
Thanks,
