Hello all, I am having some really annoying routing problems.

Here's my situation:

FreeBSD machine at ip xxx.yyy.18.61 connected to multi-homed
gateway at xxx.yyy.18.1

The multi-homed machine is running RIP between installed
adapters xxx.yyy.18.1 and xxx.yyy.180.54

Adapter xxx.yyy.180.54's default gateway is a router at
xxx.yyy.180.1

My problem is this:  the FreeBSD machine can traceroute to
everything that is in the routing table of the multi-homed
gateway at xxx.yyy.18.1 (all entries beginning with
the same xxx.yyy.0.0 -- essentially my campus-wide backbone),
but when the destination is outside of the backbone and not in
the routing table, such as 192.216.191.11 :) , the packets are
not being forwarded to the next-hop router at xxx.yyy.180.1.

How do I get those packets on their way out to the Internet?
 
Much obliged for any advice at all...
