[wplug] Two Subnets?

[Poyner, Brandon]

If you want a Linux box to act as a very simple router, where the box
itself is on both subnets, you just need to turn on IP forwarding.  

	echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

If you're looking for something that can handle RIP, BGP4, OSPF, etc
then I'd suggest you look at Zebra.

Hmmm!  I guess you need more than a hub to connect two subnets.  If you
have a 
router, that will work.  If you find out how to set up a router on
Linux, I am 
looking to do the same thing.  I know how to set up a router in Windows
on a 
double homed (i.e. two nics) machine using RRAS.
