Routing quirk in SUSE 10.0
I’m no fool. We’re putting multiple ip addresses on our web presence and I noticed a quirk in SUSE this afternoon. Even though the additional addresses are in the same subnet and have the same gateway information as the other address I noticed that the secondary addys wouldn’t route outside of the subnet :\. After beating on it for most of this afternoon, I discovered a bit of a quirk. In order to get the second address to route I had to delete the default gateway and put in the secondary address and then re-enable the default gateway. It worked after that…
*sigh*
UPDATE: add one more step on. You need to remote into the IP Address that you’re adding when you put in N+1 IP Addresses and turn back on the default gateway. And who said Linux wasn’t quirky…
Linux has its quirks, but that\’s because you probably grew up on Microsoft like most of us. Had u been an uber Linux geek instead, you\’d probably go, \
