I have 2 servers on separate sites replicating overnight via the<br>
networks main internet uplinks.<br>
There are no longer enough hours in the night for the rep to complete<br>
though, but also doing it in the day takes so much bandwidth that the<br>
users' internet becomes unusable.<br>
<br>
Have therefore installed a new broadband line on each site to be used<br>
for replication only. The uplinks are firewalled by smoothwall boxen,<br>
and my problem is getting the servers to talk to eachother via this<br>
uplink as opposed to the default gateway.<br>
<br>
Have tried setting static routes on the servers so they go out through<br>
smoothwall when they want to communicate. Then on the smoothies:<br>
<br>
route add -net 10.20.224.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 gw 81.2.xxx.xxx eth0<br>
<br>
where:<br>
10.20.224.2 = the server on the other site<br>
81.2.xxx.xxx = the smoothwall on the other site<br>
<br>
but of course I get:<br>
<br>
SIOCADDRT: No such process.<br>
<br>
I am misunderstanding something about routing and probably networking<br>
theory, does anyone have any advice or pointers?<br>
