[TriLUG] Choosing the right pipe

Of course you can't ssh TO a network, but you can SSH INTO a network,
like in my original message below.  Route displays an asterisk for each
network under "Gateway", which is defined as the "default".   Is there a
change I can make to /etc/resolv.conf that will always make eth0 use a
particular gateway, and eth1 use another?

Thanks,
Jeff

| Well, you can't ssh to a *network* -- you ssh to a host (computer).
