I have a small network at my colo provider.
Colo Provider
|
My HP 2650
| |
server1 serverN
I want to setup static routes on my servers so that my colo provider won't
bill me for traffic among my servers (backups, portsnap, cvsup, etc.). IOW,
I want to route locally for my local traffic.
I use FreeBSD 6.2 on my servers. I read the FreeBSD handbook on this and it
looks like i should do this:
route add -net 0.0.0/24 0.0.0.83
where 0.0.0/24 is the C class I have from my provider and 0.0.0.83 is the IP
address of my server (one of them/any of them).
However, this route appears to already exist as i get this error when
running that route command:
route: writing to routing socket: File exists
add net 0.0.0: gateway 0.0.0.83: route already in table
# netstat -nr
Routing tables
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default 0.0.0.1 UGS 0 154237 em0
0.0.0/24 link#1 UC 0 0 em0
0.0.0.1 00:d0:03:15:7c:0a UHLW 2 0 em0 1155
0.0.0.40 00:30:48:88:d9:98 UHLW 1 41787 em0 1198
0.0.0.83 00:30:48:76:84:ac UHLW 1 3708 lo0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 77453 lo0
(real ips obscured)
Do I need to use a private ip block (eg 192.168.x.x) for this?
Can I use "real"/routeable ips in a static route?
Does FreeBSD take care of this for me automatically?
Or is this simply impossible?
Thanks.
