Configuring second interface with multicast problem - tried multiple OSs -
 

Hope someone can help, I've tried this on a Fedora, Centos and now on Ubuntu machine.

I need to configure one interface on 10.0.10 and one on 171.31.4. to receive a multicast stream from the VPN, but when I attempt configuring both with gateways I can't get traffic over both networks.

I have attempted both interfaces static, as well as attempting static and dhcp. I have this working on a Mac OS X server, so I know that all the networking for both LANs are fine.

In Mac OS X this seems to work just fine having two default gateways.

On Ubuntu - latest test - two default gateways and still no traffic over the 171 network.

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
171.31.4.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
10.0.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 171.31.4.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth1
default 10.0.10.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0

Fedora 12:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
172.31.4.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth1
10.0.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1002 0 0 eth0
default 10.0.10.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

When I do
route add default gw 172.31.4.1
I can get multicast but I lose the connection to the external network.

Any ideas for how to proceed in this would be appreciated!!

Thanks for the tips
 

First flushed the routing table to get rid of all the previous junk - devils in the details. Solved this by creating ip tables for the two different IP access points, and did install iproute2.

Basically this is what I did, where OTHER is the 2nd internet connection
and COMCAST has internal IP, but provides the main connection out:

echo 1 COMCAST >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
echo 2 OTHER >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables

ip route add default via 10.0.10.1 dev eth0 table COMCAST
ip rule add from 10.0.10.0/24 table COMCAST

ip route add default via x.x.x.1 dev eth1 table OTHER
ip rule add from x.x.x.0/24 table OTHER

ip rule add to x.x.x.0/24 table OTHER
ip rule add to 10.0.10.0/24 table COMCAST

ip route add default nexthop via 10.0.10.1 dev eth0 nexthop via x.x.x.1 dev eth1

Again, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
