    I have 2 DS20s each with a single NIC set up on the primary network. it is a 10.1 netowrk with a 255.255.0.0 netmask.

    i have added a second NIC (ee1) in each machine. they are to talk to eachother only through these interfaces. i have assigned an IP and netmask to those cards that is totally different than our primary network. it is a 172.12 address with a 255.255.255.0 (class c) subnet.

    gated and routed are not running on either machine.

    question: how can i ensure that one node's traffic destined for the other node goes via the second nic? can i do a route add or add an entry in the routes file and restart networking?

    example: Host As second NIC is 172.12.0.1
              Host Bs second NIC is 172.12.0.2

              I want everythng on Host A destined to 172.12.0.2, to go through host As second NIC (172.12.0.1). can i "route add -host 172.12.0.2 172.12.0.1 -dev ee1", even though 172.12.0.1 isn't a gateway, but the end of the line?

    TIA
