One more question - where should I put this in the gateway's networking setup to make it permanent?

AFAICT, there's no special mechanism for static routes. But you can add them to /etc/network/interfaces like this: iface eth0 inet dhcp ⦠up route add -host 192.168.2.253 eth0 down route del -host 192.168.2.253 eth0 J. -- I eat meat and am concerned about bugs which are resistant to antibiotics.

I saw that using the -host option causes the routing table to set up a route with the netmask 255.255.255.255 - not quite sure of the significance of that though. Is that sensible though? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmaster(a)lists.debian.org

If you have just this one device with an IP address in 192.168.2.0/24, then a host route will work. If you have several devices, you could either go the braindead route (no pun intended) and add a host route for all of them or use a network route like the one you proposed.

Wouldn't it make more sense to put the printer server onto the same IP address subnet as the rest of your kit?
