oops, the eth1 IP/mask is 172.30.0.3/16. Also let me mention the needed configuration - eth0 IP 196.x.x.3 - System default gateway is 196.x.x.1 and is connected to eth0 - eth1 IP 172.30.0.3/16. This interface needs to have a static route for routing 172.30.0.0/16 through 172.30.0.1 (a router) and not "directly"
Any pointers on what "GATEWAY"s need to go into ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1 and /etc/sysconfig/network ? to get the described effect ?
