and 172.17.whatever
as well as 172.18.whatever
and 81.8.120
:( ...  Why do you confuse us with just the one?

I doubt that eth0:# is ever going to work because others have reported
failure to this ML under similar circumstances.

Have you read Martin Brown's stuff at  http://linux-ip.net/ ?  If not,
you've missed (what I consider to be) the most understandable
documentation on the internet.

With Julian's patch, nano.txt and a reading of Martin you should be able
to use all the internet connections.  Dead Gateway Detection may not
work depending on the number of hops to the dead gateway.
