I'm running rh6.0.
table before rebooting:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
140.203.1.130 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 lo
192.168.2.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1
140.203.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
table after rebooting:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
140.203.1.130 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.2.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth1
140.203.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
what do you think....
am I also right in thinking that the kernel edits the table if it finds a particular network unreachable?
