Hi guys,

I have a default route configured.

192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.1.1

I'd like to add a static route to pass traffic destined for 192.168.1.51 via a load balancer's redundant virtual interface at 192.168.1.2.

ip route add 192.168.1.51 mask 255.255.255.255 via 192.168.1.2

When I try to add the static route I get this error.

Error: either "to" is duplicate or "default" is garbage."

It doesn't want to add the static route because it's in conflict with the default route. Is there a way around this?

Regards

Ossan

Static Routes and the Routing Table

This is very much a learning question if someone would be happy to explain a couple of concepts. My question is - the default routing table that exists in, in my case, a default Windows 7 install, what do each of the routes in the table do?
