I'm running FC3 2.6.11-1.35_FC3 on a server motherboard with 2

I've been advised that to have IP forwarding (e.g., between subnets off
those NICs (I'll add a third NIC for Internet access), I must add the
command
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Edit sysctl.conf and change or add the following:
# Controls IP packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
This will allow you machine to forward packets between interfaces.
to the /etc/rc.d/boot.local. This person also advises that "I
may want
to do the echo command last and include "0" in the init scripts, since
it opens up your network for a short time." But he's a SuSE guru, not a
Fedora Core guru.
