Depending on how much you already know, "man route" should fill in
the gaps. If this is beyond your knowledge, try the pedantic ppp
primer (www.freebsd.org/documentation) - it's got a lot of good stuff
to say in this area. If it's still too much, I'd suggest getting a
hold of a tutorial-type book by O'Reilly & Associates. I believe
there's a TCP/IP one - it'll explain routing principles etc.

Questions are only stupid if you're asking something you already
know the answer to.
