Hello there,
I ve set up a domain for my company running win 2000 and unfortunately I am forced to use 2 different gateways (server has 3 network cards).
so far we had only 1 router providing internet connection sharing and access to a consortium’s intranet, which enables us to use a vital application to do our day to day operations. (no external ip address provided).
The problem began when the consortium refused any smtp trafic advising that we need to buy another router to handle that.
So we ve bought another router & arranged a broadband connection, which would also give us a static external IP + would forward smtp traffic to the exchange server. I had configured the 2nd router using different ip ranges & subnet mask.
Unfortunately, when I try to hook up both routers on the server I get an error mesage saying that there are 2 gateways and thus this configuration may not work properly(indeed).
Is it possible to have 2 gateways at the same time on the server? Ideally, we would like to use the 1st router as we have been using it so far and keep the second one just to handle SMTP traffic and http requests.
If I configure the 2nd routet as the default gateway, then I ll lose all the cool filters that come with current set up, which really prevents people from donwloading malicious stuff and visiting *undesirable* websites.
Any ideas how this could work without any casualties? Buying another server just to handle the exhange is not an option due to budget restrictions.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions
