Not the whole protocol, just the one IP address. However, your reply made me look again at the data. So I noticed it wasn't the aliased NIC that was giving me trouble, but its gateway: Aug 5 03:00:02 nisser /kernel: arp: 00:90:6d:e4:30:00 attempts to modify perman ent entry for 194.134.128.1 on ep1 Aug 5 03:00:33 nisser last message repeated 23 times Aug 5 03:02:34 nisser last message repeated 137 times ... nisser:/home/www/Slak$ arp -an ? (194.134.128.1) at ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff permanent ? (194.134.130.170) at 0:60:97:e4:98:db permanent ? (212.187.0.1) at 0:90:6d:e4:30:0 ? (212.187.0.55) at (incomplete) ... Maybe I'm misinterpreting the data but it looks to me like it wants to associate the MAC of 212.187.0.1 with the IP address 194.134.128.1. Which is weird to say the least since the 194.134.128.1 is the old gateway and 212.187.0.1 the one for the new network. These are two quite seperate backbones even though I reach both of them through the same CATV link. As to the routing thing. Defining the routes is not the problem. Getting FreeBSD to follow instructions is. E.g. the last thing I tried was: #defaultrouter="194.134.128.1" defaultrouter="212.187.0.1" #static_routes="euronet" #route_euronet="194.134.0.0 194.134.128.1" Which reputedly should tell it to route all 194.134 traffic to that gateway. Unfortunately a traceroute tells otherwise. Tried manual commands with different metrics, same effect. Bit of a bummer in that some services are still located on the old backbone and limited in "outside" accessibility. Roelof -- Home is where the (@) http://eboa.com/ is.
