Re: [cobalt-developers] can a Qube 3 - Server Gateway have 2 IP addresses configured?

[josh <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The default makes sense for the most common cases.

Take a look at 
netstat, ifconfig, and route

You will need to manually set your routes and make choices. You can
only have one practical default path. You will need to set the routes
manually or in a script specifying what IPs the second gateway is to
be used for. The default is always the route to 0.0.0.0, but you can
easily say to use the second for 10.0.0.0 for example, and hundreds of
other addresses. If both are actually on the net you can even try to
figure out which provides the shortest path to various locations with
traceroute.

The command 'netstat -nr' or 'route' will give you an
idea. You will need to look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts as
well.	I have a RaQ550 so a few things might be in different locations.
