I have two ethernet interfaces, eth0 and eth1.  The kernel probes and
finds eth0, and the append line in my lilo.conf successfully makes the
kernel probe and find eth1.  Piece of cake so far...

Let's say eth0 has address x.x.x.3 in a class C network with a default
gateway of x.x.x.1.  I've got this configured and it works just great.

Now, let's say eth1 has address y.y.y.1 in a different class C network,
and it is to be the default gateway for other hosts in y.y.y.0.  By the 
way, y.y.y.0 is a valid network on the Internet which need to be
reachable by the global Internet, so I don't want proxying or
masquarading.  How do I make this work?  

I've compiled IP Forwarding/Gatewaying into my kernel, and I've tried
everything I can think of in the Routing section of the RH Network
Configurator in the RH Control Panel.  My host knows that y.y.y.1
exists (I can ping it internally), but I can't ping it from any other
host.  I'm guessing that the routing information has not broadcasted.  Do
I need additional software such as gated, or is IP Forwarding/Gatewaying
supposed to provide this support?

Any help will be appreciated...

I'd rather debug RedHat 4.0 than deal with Slackware 3.0 (after 2 years of
Slackware experience).
