Re: [squid-users] Squid Server multiple Nics

Dear Jim

its depend on your default gateway you are using for
yr machine check with route command on linux based
systems

[root@cache root]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags
Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.128 U 0
     0 0 eth1
192.168.1.128 * 255.255.255.128 U 0
     0 0 eth1
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U
0 0 0 eth1
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U
0 0 0 lo
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0
  0 0 eth1

that is showing it is using eth1 as default gateway to
all other networks

you can add default route with following commmadn

route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth1
