So what do I need to know? Can I add a nic to my statically configured gateway and plug the comcast modem into it or am I stuck putting a router appliance inbetween my Linux router and the cable modem? The problem is, if /etc/resolv.conf gets changed that messes things up. I also don't want the default route in the default routing table to change. Unless... What if I create a separate routing table for each Internet connection and mark all packets that are outbound so that it doesn't matter what the default Internet route in the default routing table is? I still have the issue of protecting /etc/resolv.conf though. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
