Dear listers, I am running RIoworks' HDAMA with two Broadcom gigabit interfaces. When I tried to configure them, I had a funny experience. First I set up eth0, and then went on to eth1. eth0 is connected to the internet backbone, while eth1 is a port for local lab network, for ipforwarding. Funny thing was that the default gateway, thedomainname of eth1 were just copies of eth0!!! # The network address itself was correct. If I set up in the opposite order, the same mystery occured; eth0 copied some data from eth1. I do not know ehy this happened, but any way I did everything manually, and created a script to run iptables at the bootup time. # As I wrote in the above, eth0 and eth1 are same chips. Has anyone got a similar experience? Thank you for your attention. yoriaki fujimori

The default gateway and the domainname are unique for a system and independ of the network card. A normal setup will not have two default gateways (you will use two default gateways for load balancing and failover issues but let's keep these out of the discussion). If you have a system where the external domainname is different from the internal one, you really have to be careful to differentiate this. The network setup just gives the default one, others are AFAIK directly handled by webserver or mailserver configuration.
