You can only have one "default" gateway... that is sort of the meaning of 
"default".  This is the IP address that gets all packets that don't have a 
specific route.

I'd need to know more about the environment to know for sure, but usually, you 
set the default gateway on the interface that would have more routes to or from 
it, and then set routes for what you want to happen for the other interface.

What role does this server play?  If it is a gateway server, then you should do 
one thing.  If it is just dual-homed for a different reason, There would be a 
different solution...

Subject: [windows2000] Dual NIC server


We have a server with two NIC's. One is in our DMZ with a public IP address.
The other is on our LAN. The default gateway is entered for both interfaces,
but the default gateway "disappears" (shown by ipconfig /all) on the LAN
interface, but stays intact on the DMZ. Is this by design? Is there a way to
actually have both stick around?
