Why not? Such routes work perfectly here. |
12 |

13 |
I also use them for my PPTP tunnel: |
14 |
|
15 |
route add -net 1.2.3.4/24 dev ppp1 |
16 |
|
17 |
Works perfectly! I think it simply means: take all IP-packets with |
18 |
destination 1.2.3.4/24 and send them out through interface ppp1. |
19 |
|

We know such routes from local network-interfaces. |

Actually, i also always thought, that i must specify a gateway. But it |
24 |
seems, i was wrong. |
