[SunHELP] Routing problem

[Ben Ricker]

I ran into a problem with a Sun E250 routing to "new" subnets. I am in a
dispute with a network guy about where the issue lies.

I have my 'defaultrouter' set to my gateway. Everything routes on our
internal network perfectly fine. We brought on some customers accessing
us through VPN. I attempted to route to the new subnet and traceroute
was failing at the first hop! I had to add a static route to the host
setting the defaultrouter as the default gateway for routing that host
and BANG! Works.

So, am I blaming the network guys for nothing or what? I cannot explain
why other subnets within our network route "out of the box" but these
subnets just added do not until I explicitley add a static route to it.

Thanks,
