If your private router and your fxp1 device are on the same network (as defined by IP address and netmask) then that fxp1 card will be used to send all traffic to the IP address of your router. There is no other way to make that happen. Once you've got your fxp1 talking to your router, then you can add routes for other netblocks to that same router IP address, and let the router figure out what to do with the packets. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
