Not too sure to be truthfull as I don't use that option. I prefer to have both default routes separated by a metric instead. This works very well when you have 3 interfaces, wired, wireless and vpn and they all provide default routes. In this instance we need to give them metrics and tie them to an interface using Linux. Either way, I don't see an issue with the --redirect-gateway option. I'll do some testing next week if you like. Thanks -- Roy Marples <uberl...@gentoo.org> Gentoo Linux Developer
