If your network card has an ip address starting with 192.168.123 (not 
including .0 and .255, those are invalid host addresses), and a netmask of 
255.255.255.0, then the network/interface entry in the routing table should be 
added completely automatically. You don't need to add anything else anywhere 
to communicate with hosts on the 192.168.123 network. 

Unless of course those hosts are physically separated, and need to go through 
routers along the way, but this would be a bad network setup.

Your diagram seemed to say that the 192.168.123.247 client was physically 
connected to the 192.168.124.3 NIC on the server. Is this correct, or just a 
misunderstanding of the diagram on my part?
