It is not to be announced at all. If your ISP is too stupid to setup a route for you (and your net), he should perhaps quit his job. Relying on RIP route announcement for the remote end is the worst he could do. His customers could announce _any_ network on the remote end, and he will blindly believe it? I can't imagine that somebody is that stupid! (Btw., _he_ can and should use GateD -- without RIP -- doing the job.) On your side, no routed or GateD is necessary. The other machines in your network know their gateway anyway, and pppd is inserting the static route once it is up. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
