I've got three hosts set up as follows: +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ | 1| |1 2| |1 | | A +---+ B +---+ C | | | | | | | +-----+ +-----+ +-----+ and the middle one (B) has ip_forwarding set OFF in the kernel. Host A is able to ping Host B iface_1 but not Host C iface_1 (which is great, just what I'd expect) but I'm puzzled because Host A unexpectedly seems to be able to ping Host B iface_2. Would you expect Host A to be able to ping Host B iface_2? Anybody out there who can try it? Remember, I've got ip_forwarding switch off in the kernel. (Reply by email would be preferred) TIA,
