For example, many hotel access services redirect your SMTP TCP sessions
to their local smart sender these days, as quite simply, that is the
easiest way to prevent customers from being unable to send mail due to
relay restrictions on their office or ISP mail server.

From http://spf.pobox.com/forsysadmins.html: You should enable port 587
so your roaming users can inject messages even when their hotel is
blocking port 25.

We had this problem with users using wireless networks like T-Mobile
hotspots, and worked around it with alternate ports.

routing help

2004-01-25 Thread Lauchlin
Hi,

I have an issue with routing that I just can't figure out.

What I have at the moment is a box set up with an IP and route as 
follows  (some of the details have

route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse 
Iface
203.221.41.11   0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0  00

  inet addr:203.221.41.11  Bcast:203.221.41.31  
Mask:255.255.255.224

As can be seen from above the default route is set up to go to a 
gateway on a static route.

What I want to do is add an ip alias to eth0 with an ip address of 
203.221.41.12 and have it route out through the same gateway.

If I simply do ifconfig eth0:1 203.221.41.12 netmask 255.255.255.224 
broadcast 203.221.41.3  I can ping the IP address from the machine 
that is on the same switch (e.g. from 203.221.41.1) but I can not ping 
or trace to the ip aliased interface. I have searched around on google 
but can't seem to find what I am doing wrong!

Re: routing help

2004-01-25 Thread Rod Rodolico
Sorry to be vague, but there was a command I remember once when I had this problem 
before.
Seems like I had to do a route add in /network/interfaces. Seems like there is some 
parameter
to an interface that allows you to execute a command after the interface is brought 
up, and I
had to do a route add . . . . to get it to work.

However, I'm doing a similar thing, on my server and the only difference is that my 
netmask is
not 255.255.255.255, which I think is incorrect on yours. Maybe it is the fact that 
your
netmask is not correct? Following are the first two entries in my 
/etc/network/interfaces, and
it works just fine. If I read your output correctly, your netmask should be a .224 
instead of
the .0 I use (since you only have two IP's).

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 66.17.131.182
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 66.17.131.0
broadcast 66.17.131.255
gateway 66.17.131.1

auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 66.17.131.183

Of course, I could be 100% wrong, in which case someone here will correct me.

Hi Rod,

After a bit more playing and a bit more thinking I finally figured it 
out..I think

What it looks like is that the router I am using as the gateway 
(203.220.47.153) needed to have its ARP table updated or flushed or 
something.  I don't have control over it so I can't be sure.  What I 
now have is a script that runs after boot time that looks like:

/sbin/route add -net 203.220.47.152/30 eth0
/sbin/route add default gw 203.220.47.153
/bin/ping -c1 203.220.238.152
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 203.221.41.12 netmask 255.255.255.224 broadcast 
203.221.41.31
/sbin/route add -net 203.220.47.152/30 eth0
/sbin/route add default gw 203.220.47.153
/bin/ping -c1 203.220.238.152
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 203.221.41.13 netmask 255.255.255.224 broadcast 
203.221.41.31
/sbin/route add -net 203.220.47.152/30 eth0
/sbin/route add default gw 203.220.47.153
/bin/ping -c1 203.220.238.152
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 203.221.41.11 netmask 255.255.255.224 broadcast 
203.221.41.31

/sbin/route add default gw 203.220.47.153
/bin/ping -c1 203.220.238.152

it basically cycles through the ip addresses pinging a host on just the 
other side of the router so it flushes the ARP cache.  Does this sound 
correct or am I totally off the track here?  Anyway it is all working 
now but I guess I'd like to know if what I had to do was correct or 
not?

Cheers,

I believe there is a way to force a refresh or such of the ARP cache. Not
sure how... but it can be done somehow. I'd be interested to learn the
method under Linux as well, so if you find out, share it with the group

/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 203.221.41.13 netmask 255.255.255.224 broadcast 
203.221.41.31
/sbin/route add -net 203.220.47.152/30 eth0
/sbin/route add default gw 203.220.47.153
/bin/ping -c1 203.220.238.152

it basically cycles through the ip addresses pinging a host on just the 
other side of the router so it flushes the ARP cache.  Does this sound 
correct or am I totally off the track here?  Anyway it is all working 
now but I guess I'd like to know if what I had to do was correct or 
not?

Cheers,

Seems like I had to do a route add in /network/interfaces. Seems like 
there is some parameter
to an interface that allows you to execute a command after the 
interface is brought up, and I
had to do a route add . . . . to get it to work.

However, I'm doing a similar thing, on my server and the only 
difference is that my netmask is
not 255.255.255.255,
mine is 255.255.255.224.  The first line in the route output was a host 
entry that I don't seem to need after all.

which I think is incorrect on yours. Maybe it is the fact that your
netmask is not correct? Following are the first two entries in my 
/etc/network/interfaces, and
it works just fine. If I read your output correctly, your netmask 
should be a .224 instead of
the .0 I use (since you only have two IP's).

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 66.17.131.182
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 66.17.131.0
broadcast 66.17.131.255
gateway 66.17.131.1
auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 66.17.131.183
netmask 255.255.255.0
auto eth0 eth1
iface eth0 inet static
address 203.221.41.11
netmask 255.255.255.224
network 203.221.41.0
broadcast 203.221.41.31
is what I have.

Of course, I could be 100% wrong, in which case someone here will 
correct me.

Hi,
I have an issue with routing that I just can't figure out.
What I have at the moment is a box set up with an IP and route as
follows  (some of the details have
route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref
Use
Iface
203.221.41.11   0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH0  0
0
eth0
203.220.47.152  0.0.0.0 255.255.255.252 U 0  0
0
eth0
203.221.41.00.0.0.0 255.255.255.224 U 0  0
0
eth0
0.0.0.0 203.220.47.153  0.0.0.0 UG0  0
0
eth0

eth0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:05:1C:0B:48:A8
   inet addr:203.221.41.11  Bcast:203.221.41.31
Mask:255.255.255.224
As can be seen from above the default route is set up to go to a
gateway on a static route.
What I want to do is add an ip alias to eth0 with an ip address of
203.221.41.12 and have it route out through the same gateway.
If I simply do ifconfig eth0:1 203.221.41.12 netmask 255.255.255.224
broadcast 203.221.41.3  I can ping the IP address from the machine
that is on the same switch (e.g. from 203.221.41.1) but I can not ping
or trace to the ip aliased interface. I have searched around on google
but can't seem to find what I am doing wrong!
Thanks,

I believe there is a way to force a refresh or such of the ARP cache. Not
sure how... but it can be done somehow. I'd be interested to learn the
method under Linux as well, so if you find out, share it with the group
:-)
