However, all traffics off his LAN to the net is via cisco box which does run RIP-1 as ripquery -1 cisco.ispdomain shows: 24 bytes from cisco.ispdomain (aa.bb.cc.dd) to gw.mydomain version 1: 0.0.0.0 metric 1 Now, I need to extend the 2.1R box to route more traffics from another network with different IP address and domain name connected to gw.mydomain (the 2.1R box), ie turns my 2.1R box (gw.mydomain) into a multihomed router with multi IP address and domain name. However, I do not want to get my ISP to add static routes to route traffic to the new network and I want to use gated to talk RIP-1 to do so, and wonder if someone can give me some advice on that ? The reason for choosing gated instead of letting my ISP to set things up for me is that I will be charged EXTRA $$ and I want to avoid that totally. In fact, I will also migrate to use gated and RIP-1 totally for the existing network (where mydomain lives). Please give me some advice please.
