Is it possible to use two gateways, one from a fixed ip provider
(hathway)
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.

check man pppd. Also, if you set DEFROUTE=no in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0, and then in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp you add the routing code it may work.
