Your router will handle it from there. Hmm, the card has 4 interfaces and the Ethernet would make it five interfaces. All incoming packets come in from the correct circuits. And each T1 is on a separate interface. What I meant to say was is there a way around the route add default to be pointing to only one interface or IP like making all packets from 208.164.68.0/24 go out of eth0 and 209.84.252.0/24 go out of eth1. Each interface does have it's own IP. And it's hard to run BGP in a area like Hawaii because the MCI side is truly MCI but the GTE circuit is GTE Internetworking/BBNPlanet but the backbone is UUNet's network and they won't even sell anything other than Frame Relay and refuse to peer with other providers in the Hawaiian islands. > Assuming you REALLY want to route on the box, and ignore the routers that > are sitting there, you can add a handful of static routes, but that is the > WRONG way to do it. Hmmm, it wouldn't really be a handful of static routes because it shouldn't be any more different than a cisco since even on a cisco 2501, you still would need to add static routes to do it.
