The cisco is default gateway The servers and portmasters are on one class C, the dialins are on another class C. Because some users have fixed ip, but can dial in on either of the portmasters, I run routed on all servers, and the portmasters seem to announce on which portmaster the customer is, so the route gets changed to the right portmaster. The traceroute should then go from server to pm1 or pm2 to customer. However, often the route changes so it goes server->cisco->pm->client or server->firewall->pm->client or even server->cisco->(router at our uplink)->cisco->(router at our uplink) etc. If I constantly pings the client, I gets pauses where the pings are lost. What do I do wrong? Shouldn't I use routed on the servers, but only route default gateway to the cisco, and let it handle the pm1/pm2 route changes? Or should I have one server running routed? or gated? or what? Help!!! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
