Hi, Well, yes, I'd agree, but we're talking about trying to fix a network created by folks who didn't know any better. And the thing is, it all WORKS if I can manually add route add net 151.186.28.0 151.186.20.196 1 's to the hosts on the Big net, so technically speaking, it's not an internetworking problem, but rather a matter of fooling routed or gated into broadcasting *correct* information that only *appears* to be wrong, were it being done in a legitimate IP environment.... which makes me wonder if I can't just do something totally putzish like run gated someplace else on the Big net and export my route... ...
