For some > reason, it's just not making any sense to me. First you need to explain why you think you need to run a routing daemon. What is wrong with the static route? I suspect you are just having trouble reaching the .6 address(es ?) from the second ethernet. Turn on forwarding on the machine with two interfaces. In /etc/{sysconfig|rc.conf} set gateway=YES If you really need to propogate routing information about the addresses on ed1 just run routed -s (or simply routed, -s is the default mode when there is more than one interface).
