All,
I have search the mail archives but have not got answer to this question:
Can you add in a persistent/static route?
What I mean by this is that the static route entry stays in the routing
table even the though the default gateway IP is not reachable.
What I want to do is route to a network over the VPN client IP address -
but it seems this static route can only be added in when the VPN client
has connected - i.e. their IP address appears in the routing table.
However, when the VPN client disconnects then this route entry is removed
- because the VPN IP is removed from the routing table. However, when the
VPN client connects again the static route does not appear automatically.
Does FreeBSD support permanent/persistent static routes? The man pages for
route(8) does not suggest it does.
the only other solution is to use dynamic routing and use RIP - but
m0n0wall does not support RIP!
Regards,
Mon
