[Lvlug] can anybody give me a hint for a routing table question?

Damn. Beat me to it. :D

But it evidently looks like this:


 			       eth0 side <=> server <=> eth1 side -> westell
                               /
                              /
               internal router
              /
             /
other boxen

I'm not sure DHCP leases from the westell are the problem. How would it
know about the eth0 side at all? Perhaps the DHCP client is botching it.
