Static routes in SCO
Hi,

Just a question of thought. Why one needs to add static routes on Unix servers ? If I had ethernet card, it already has the settings for gateway for incoming and outgoing requests. We donot have to explicitly set the route it should take. Then what is the use of setting routes on Unix server ?

regards,


J
