If A only has one NIC, then C must really be on the same wire as D. Why can't C use D as the gateway directly? Also, the outbound side is only half of a routing problem. Things on the other side of D must have routes back or D must NAT onto it's own address as it forwards. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
