Networking question
(crossposted to Slackware)
I have a Slackware server that is sitting on one subnet with a single NIC and one IP address bound to it. How feasible is it to toss in a second NIC, and have the server also listen to requests from that second NIC, which would be assigned a second IP address, but from a completely different subnet? From my limited understanding of networking, this isn't possible because only one default gateway can really be configured for the machine, is this correct? Thanks in advance!
