Subject:   routed running on an "internal" server
Message-ID:  <337CAD8B.6E74@whro.org>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I'm running a webserver (2.1.5 + apache). DNS for everything
"inside" the gateway-router is maintained on one machine, maybe 11 other
machines operate "inside" this gateway-router, subordinate to this
Nameserver.

      The network has recently been expanded by adding three more
routers, to segment traffic within the original network.  My path "out"
to the internet has not changed, and that router is defined as my
"defaultrouter=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (with the real numbers) in sysconfig. In
sysconfig, the "router=routed" line is also active. 

      Since the new routers were added, my "message" log is running
about 1/2meg-a-day with "routed[49] ; packet from unknown router,
*address*" data....  I don't use these paths, I don't need the log-files
;-), so I want it to go away.

      One NetAdmin suggested just setting "routed=no".  WILL THIS AFFECT
HOW OTHERS ACCESS MY WEBSITE ???   ARE THERE OTHER / BETTER OPTIONS ???

inquiring minds want .... (well, you know...)
