I have exactly this setup, and I never got the routing to work properly
with any of the options about IP forwarding and/or gatewaying enabled or
disabled. The last time I tried to fix this was with 1.3.x kernels. If
anyone has a working setup with two ethernet cards in the same box
routing to two different networks, I would like to know exactly how it
is set up, too.
However, in my case I found another solution. One net is small (three
machines). The other net is the internet. I simply set up static routes
to the hosts on the small net and the main network route to the
internet. This has worked just fine.
My ISP is down now, so I can't show you the routes and commands. Write
me by private e-mail if you want these.
