Hi,

I have a Linux server running as a proxy and mail server.We have a leased line and an ADSL connection. The leased line is used to receive mails only and the ADSl for internet browsing.I've two network cards in the server. so right now I've configured my default gw as 192.168.0.254 which is the that of the leased line.So I'm able to receive mails now.

Now I want my Internet gateway to be the ADSL router whose IP is 192.168.0.253. How can I configure the gateway for eth1 as 192.168.0.253(ADSL) keeping my default gw as 192.168.0.254.

I hope it is done with 'route add' command. But if possible give me the exact syntax.

waiting for your reply,

Thanking you in advance

Sorry but I don't have my Linux system handy to check the syntax, but do a man route and check out the metric parameter.

The metric is an arbitrary number that lets you specify which interface to use first. Route will use the interface with the lowest metric number, if that isn't available the interface with the next higher metric will be tried. This lets you set redundant paths to the Internet and have them all running at the same time.

You can assign routes to specific interfaces like:

Thanks Mr. Veritas ,the code worked.
