The first has about 30 ips assigned to it and working correctly. The other was a backup nic for the ISP backup network, but its now I was asked to assign ips and a default gateway specification to it,because we ran out of usable ips on the 1st nic, so we have a new netblock ready for assignment. The trouble is, I don't know how to this remotely without cutting the internet access from this server. I thought on adding the ips to the 2nd nic (about 60 of them), but I don't know how I can make the default route for this nic to work. As far as i know, as soon as I type route add default gateway-of-2nd-nick ,the internet connection will be dropped. I don't know, have never tried this kind of setup. Any help would be appreciated! -- http://www.6s-gaming.com - your online store!
