[SunHELP] Cannot establish network using GateD

[Hitoshi TAKAHASHI]

Hi James-san,

Thank you for your advice.

>first.. gated is for routing protocols, not routing (yas verginia, there is
>a difference). For a net this small you should consider static routes.

Yes.
I'd like to connect three classless netwarks,10.2.96.0/22,10.2.250.0/25 and 
10.2.250.128/25, by way of Server-A and Server-B with two NICs.

 PC-A           __Server-A___                   __Server-B___    PC-D
 10.2.96.1     |EP250        |    PC-B  PC-C   |EP250        |   10.2.250.52
__|____________|Solaris2.6   |____|_____|______|Solaris2.6   |___|__________
  10.2.96.0/22 |IP Address   | 10.2.250.128/25 |IP Address   | 10.2.250.0/25 
               |10.2.96.20   |                 |10.2.250.130 |
               |10.2.250.129 |                 |10.2.250.1   |
               |_____________|                 |_____________|

Can I accomplish it only using static routes ?
(add "route add command" in S69inet file ??)
Is GateD (routing protocol) no need ?

Could you please tell me more your advice ?

Result of ping

>From Server-A
 ping 10.2.96.1    ---- OK(to PC-A)
 ping 10.2.250.130 ---- OK(to Server-B)
 ping 10.2.250.1   ---- OK(to Server-B)
 ping 10.2.250.52  ---- NG(to PC-D)
 ping 10.2.250.0   ---- OK
 ping 10.2.250.127 ---- OK 

>From Server-B
