  Is it possible to use two gateways, one from a

  on my eth1 and the other from dial-up (vsnl) on
my ppp0 (modem) 
Use special domain routing.

For your mail server, add vsnl as a gateway, for everything else, set
hathway as a gateway.

route add -host ip_of_your_mail_server gw vsnl_gateway dev ppp0
Put this in your dial-up scrips to replace the global routing command in 
there. 
Thanx, works beautifully. I could not locate the routing instructions made 
by ppp when the modem got connected. So i thought of writing one myself. How 
do i get the gateway from my ppp0. Ifconfig gives the entire details. There 
was a thread sometime back to mail the ip address received from the modem, 
but i could not locate it from the archives. If someone is using it please 
post it on the list. Philip had written a script to this effect.

By the way, when is the next meet.

Thanx

Noel.
