    I should have been more descriptive in describing what I need. I have two
    networks that are routed to me via a serial connection, namely a T1. I
    have just installed a new router and it has two ethernet ports that will
    route to the two different networks. What I want to do is have a single
    machine have two routes to the Internet, but each NIC going through its
    respective network...one is a /24 and the other a /28. So, i would think
    that this would require that "fancier setup", due to the fact that I want
    traffic going out each nic to go through its networks gateway. Now, what
    is this fancier setup?
