No, I am looking for help on setting up the actual networking between the
machines. Software level setup is the easy part. ;) One nice soul gave me
this offlist:
----------
On RedHat variants, at least, in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
assuming the 2nd NIC card is device eth1....
on the 2nd nic for both. use a different IP/subnet than your LAN.
machine one - 10.10.0.1/255.255.255.0 gateway 10.10.0.1
machine two - 10.10.0.2/255.255.255.0 gateway 10.10.0.1
should be able to ping back and forth once you plug in the crossover
cable.
create iptable rules/excepts if needed.
replace 10.10.0.x with whatever non-routable RFC compliant subnet you
want to use.
