multiple default gateways

["James Ireson" <jireson@beaconhomeloans.co.uk>]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup my network with multiple default gateways from a debian linux box running 2.6.11.10.

I've read lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html and understand about setting up the routes for each interface in separate routing tables.

I have added the table names into my rp_tables file and ip route show table demon/ rednet shows that there's nothing in those tables.

However when I try an add a route into the tables it accepts my command, ip route add 213.246.137.16/30 dev eth3 src 213.246.137.18 table rednet

, but it gets added into the main routing table.

I'm quite obviously missing something, but can't work out what it is. Do I need to comple something extra into the kernel?

Can anyone please shed any light on the situation?

Thanks
