Changes between Openrc 0.5.2 and 0.6.0 - internal and external network cards are biting each other.

Dear Roy

What are the exact changes between Openrc 0.5.2 and 0.6.0?

As described here:

 http://groups.google.com/group/funtoo-dev/browse_thread/thread/18ff3161f8ae79bd

After upgrading from Openrc 0.5.2. to Openrc 0.6.0 and switching from net.eth0 to netif.eth0 I can only run one Network card on my server. If I try to start the internal and the external network card then I can not reach the outside world anymore.

If I only start the external card and stop eth1 then I can reach i.e. Google.

Any hints on what changes from Openrc 0.5.2. to 0.6.0 may effect this behavior?

Best
Zeno

You can see the changes at the timeline link here, or via the  gitweb interface.

It also looks like you're running a Funtoo specific script which I don't suport and your issue is solved.

I found the solution via Daniel Robbins. In 0.6.0 with a server with two network cards you should only specify one gateway, the one that goes to the outside world. If you specify a second gateway then for the internal network i.e. 192.168.0.1 you will not be able to reach the internet as it confuses the process.

This was not the case with 0.5.2. With that setup I always specified both gateways explicitly.
