Dual NIC Problem / Question

[Guest]

Hi Guys,

I have a specific problem, i have a server with a 2 nic server
One Nic is on the 192.168.101.0 network (24bit mask)
Second Nic is on the 10.7.10.0 network (29bit mask)

Both NICs need to plug into seperate firewalls and therefore need seperate
gateways, is this possible in windows 2000 (i havent been able to test as
this is a production server!)
What would be the best way to implement this?
Any suggestions would be very grateful!

Thanks In Advance

John

it is possible. I have been working on a few cases ike that. quoted from http://www.ChicagoTech.net
One router goes to the corporation email server and another one goes to the Internet

Symptoms: you have one router connecting to the corporation for email and the Internet access. However, the corporate Proxy server filters web sites and watches you access. Then, you add another router for the Internet access and want to use the corporate router for the email only, but the traffic always go to the corporation router.

Resolution: You need to modify the routing table. Make all traffic go to the Internet and point the email server to the corporation ip range.

You can only have one Default Gateway, so only *one* router/firewall can be
the default route. The other can only be used for routes that are the
"exception to the rule",...aka Static Routes. So there is no real way to
answer that without knowing exactly *why* (with details) you want to do
this.

The general answer to a setup like this is, "No, you can't". But there are
situations where exceptions can be made.
