routes are killing me - how to?

[Bil]

the second question you've answered yourself

> [jeglin@orion jeglin]$ netstat -rn
> Kernel IP routing table
> Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   Iface
> 63.220.231.128  0.0.0.0         255.255.255.192 U       eth1
> 192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U       eth0
> 127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U       lo
> 0.0.0.0         63.220.231.129  0.0.0.0         UG      eth1

the routing table, that comes up as you UP an interface give all the
necessary information.

> 192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U       eth0

that line tells the machine to use eth0 for anything headed to 192.168.0.x
