[linux-help] Re: Routing sanity-check

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, it looks fine.  Altho if you're using a 2.2.x or newer kernel, all of
the 'route add' commands you have (with the exception of the default route)
are unecessary, as the kernel adds those routes when you run the ifconfig
command.

So... is it working?  That's the REAL test :-)
