/sbin/route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 ppp0
in /etc/ppp/ip-up configures a specific network route for the private
network through the ppp0 interface. When the PPP interface is taken
down at the end of the connection then poof, the route disappears. You
get to keep the default route to the Internet at all times.

I configure my DNS list to include all domain name servers in both networks
if I am to use both networks simultaneously?

You can use a list in which u place both. But that wont work very well,Quote:> What about domain name services? Right now I have two /etc/resolv.conf

a) use a configurable resolver... there is one around, but dont ask me
where, search for something like "selective resolver".
b) use your own forwarding name server and configure it as a secondary to
your internal zone.
c) if you are onlien only use the internal nameserver as long as this one
is forwarding requests to the internet.

1. ifconfig question and DNS/DIG question
Hello,
Thanks for reading this posting!
I have two questions.
In slackware linux (not sure about other releases), typing ifconfig
without any switches displays your Network interfaces. Among the output
of the command for each interface is; packets TX and packets RX. I need
either one of two things. I need to know how big a packet is? How many
bytes, et cetera. I don't think there is a way to do this however, I
have a feeling after some digging around that data packets can be of
varying size. If this is the case, I need to know if there is a utility
that shows total transmitted bytes and received bytes since the
interface's been initialized/brought up. We're having some problems
with our ISP regarding billing and our metered T1! In AIX there's the
entstat command. A command like this for Linux would be perfect!
Thanks.
Second, is anyone else running DNS/BIND having trouble getting an
updated list/keeping thier db.cache file current?? The HOWTO files on
DNS recommend running the following command:
I'm getting the following output:
res_nsend to server rs.internic.net 198.41.0.6: Connection timed out
I've ftp'd to thier site but am confused about which file to get! A
friend of mine has a shell account at her school, I've tried this from
thier machine with the same results, so I don't think it's just me.
I've been using the above dig command in a script for more than a year
now. Anyone know what's going on/an alternative?
Thanks!
