One card is on a private net, the other I've used Wide-DHCP to configure the interface to my ISP. I'm not running routed. I've compiled the kernel with option IPFIREWALL, gateway is enabled, and the firewall is enabled with the type set to "open". When I run #netstat -r I get the output header, but it takes several minutes for any routing info to be displayed. Also, network traffic seems to be generated before the route info comes up. I would have expected the routing tables to be calculated when the interfaces are set up. Is this normal? What is the traffic for?
