[gentoo-user] Routing I think

[Ryan Viljoen]

Hi all

I am currently redoing a server for my old high school. The old server
had to network cards:
eth0 - 192.168.1.2
eth1 - 192.168.4.1

The 192.168.4. network is the admin network for all the teachers. The
server connects to another mail and file server on eth0 its ip is
192.168.1.1. In addition the access to the net is through 192.168.1.4
(proxy server).

Now on the previous server the teachers could get the mail and browse
the net from the 192.168.4. network. Could someone advise me on how to
go about doing this on the new server.

Thanks
Rav

IP forwarding must be enabled on your new server:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
That is assuming you are using IP version 4.

Next, you need a default route on the server pointing to 192.168.1.4.

Great thanks Uwe, I thought I might have forgotten something as simple as this.
