Re: defaultroute problem with multiple network interfaces

[Atom Powers]

The trailing period probably shouldn't be there, if it does anything
at all it probably adds "and any" or "and none" to the class?

I don't use the netconfig commands, so I can't be much help; but I
would write a testing script that looks something like this:
----
#!/var/cfengine/bin/cfagent -qvKf
alerts:
128_32_183.!169_229_58::
  "default route 128.32.183.254"
169_229_58::
  "default route 169.229.58.1"
----

That will allow your to run the test config directly so you can play
around with the classes until you find one that does what you want,
without breaking anything.
