read the routing howto, and the proxy howto, and look for the linux router project.

[snip] Well from what I figure out, you want to configure two LAN cards on the same box. Now autoprobing will detect only one card at boot time, if at all. This is a conscious design decision, as then you can control the interface to card mapping. So, you will have to pass command line kernel parameters. Something like ether=...... Read the BootPrompt HOWTO for more on that. You may also want to take a look at the Ethernet HOWTO. Once the cards are probed( and detected), configure the interfaces with 'ifconfig' and then do your routing table manipulations with 'route'. Do this manually first....check it. Automating would depend on what distro you use. Hope that helps abhijeet
