[UUG/MLUG] Multiple routes between single hosts?

["Donnelly, Mark J." <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

OK, here's my setup:

I've got a Linux box sitting right next to my Windows NT box at work.  Both
of them are connected to Token Ring (shudder) for internet connectivity.
Now, I had extra ethernet cards back from when I worked in a real network,
so I figured I'd put in a secure connection between my Linux server and my
NT desktop.  I've got all the hardware in place (including a crossover
cable), and now I just need to configure the software.

My Linux box has its token-ring address of 128.206.x.y; my NT box has
128.206.x.z as its address.  I have no authority to dole out any further
128.206 addresses.  What address should I use for each machine's ethernet
connections?  Should I have it as 128.206.x.1 and 128.206.x.2 and just not
add them into my routing tables (i.e., the linux machine has an ethernet
card with an address of 128.206.x.1, but the route to 128.206.x.1 is through
the token-ring card)?  Should I have it as 10.0.1.10 and 10.0.1.11?  If I
have to go with 10.0.1.10 as I think I have to, can I even set up a route to
the NT box at 128.206.x.z that goes through a 10.0.1.10?

I'm fairly certain that if I figure out which IP addresses to use, I can
figure out how to configure the rest (use the default gateway with a metric
of 2, and the line-secure route with a metric of 1), but I'm just really not
sure which way to jump on this.  What do you all think?
