Heh, funny.  I didn't think it was that big when I started :)  I sure 
figured that out last night.  Anyway, I mainly took on the task as a 
lesson in large-system system administration.  Now that I have more 
knowledge from my gated experience, I managed to pretty much do what I 
want with static routes.

One last thing, though.  Is it possible to have two machines using the 
same hub, but one with a class B addr, and one with class C?  Can linux 
act as a pretty intelligent router?

Thanks,
Dave Wreski
