- First off, your default routing for slipclient should be to sliphost over the
- SLIP interface. Got that? I thought so.

- Now, I'm going to complain about you using routed. From what you've
- drawn here, there is NO reason that you should be using dynamic routing.
- Static entries in the machines routing tables will do you just fine, as there
- is only one possible path per machine pair.
-
- The default routing for the sliphost should be network A, the Sun should have
- an entry for routing to network A, and ick... Why does the SLIP interface have
- to have a different netid? Make that sucker network A, and your life will be
- much easier. Course, I suppose you could also add an entry for network C on
- the Sun (gateway = sliphost), but I would opt for changing network C if at all
- possible.
-
- Summary:
- slipclient
- route add default sliphost 0
- sliphost
- route add default Sun 0
- route add slipclient slipclient 0
- Sun
- route add net networkA sliphost 0
- route add net networkC sliphost 1
-
- That should do the trick (I think).
