Hey all

I've got a bit of strange question. I have a new system running RH 7.3 with one onboard and four PCI based network cards.

We are behind a CISCO router, and I have set each card with a valid outside IP address that all need to route to the CISCO that gives us access to the outside world.

I am doing this to allow monitoring on each card with MRTG for billing reasons.

All the cards are being recognized and I can get a "ping" out of all of them, but they all seem to route out the same card rather than out each individual card.

I have tried to set the route for these manually in both the ifcfg-ethX files as well as the /etc/sysconfig/network file, but it always defaults to the eth0 card......even if I change the card with the gateway all the outgoing traffic appears to got out one card rather than out each individual card that the traffic initially came in on.

Any help would be appreciated........................... OPUS System Solutions

Answered my own question. Looks like it's simply a matter of a host machine only being allowed one default gateway.... OPUS System Solutions
