[ILUG] Enabling server to access single IP address out of netmask range

[Patton, Tony]

Hi all,

At work we have a unix-based oracle server with an ipaddress of
192.168.200.1, netmask 255.255.255.0.
What we need to do is enable the server to see hosts with an ipaddress of
192.168.205.60 to 192.168.205.70.
One of the hosts is a printserver in which we cannot change the netmask or
add a default gateway.
They are connected via two routers with ipaddress 192.168.1.1 (onsite) and
192.168.205.254 (offsite).

      +-------+                  +----------+
+----------+                +------------------+
       | Unix |-------------------| Router |-----------------------------|
Router |-----------------| Print Server |
      +-------+                  +----------+
+----------+                +------------------+
 192.168.200.1             192.168.1.1                     192.168.205.254
192.168.205.240
 255.255.255.0

What I would like to achieve is to let the unix-box see the hosts but
without opening up the server to the whole of the 192.168.205 subnet.

Thanks in advance for any help given.
