Hi,

I have a box hooked up to a network with access to two seperate lines
going to two seperate networks (206.x.x.x for link #1 and 207.x.x.x for
link #2). The machine has IP addresses on both IP ranges. The default
gateway is 207.x.x.1.

I'm running a server which is bound to a 206.x.x.x IP. However, since my
default gateway is 207.x.x.1, it sends all data out on link #2 but
receives incoming data over link #1. This means that if either link #1 or
link #2 is down, I'm effectively dead in the water.

Is there any way to tell my box that for all data going out of it with a
/source/ address of 206.x.x.x should be sent through the 206.x.x.1
gateway? I know I can do this based on destination, but I have no clue how
to do it based on source (and unfortunately I can't predict the addresses
of all the clients I'll be communicating with).

Hope someone has some ideas. Thanks in advance.
