Enable responses from 2 internet gateways on the same system

Hello
I tried this question in the Tiger Networking forum but didn't get a response so I'm giving it a shot here.
I am hoping one of the network gurus here can help me out. I've spent quite a few hours trawling these forums and others online to try to find the answer to my question, but success has not been forthcoming.
My situation is this. I have a system that functions as a server that is connected to two separate internet connections. The G5 tower is hooked up to each via Ethernet. Each connection has a manually configured connection with a fixed IP. The gateways for each are using different IP ranges, the IP for en0 is 10.0.1.59 and en2's IP is 192.168.1.145. They each have different gateways configured as well, 10.0.1.1 and 192.168.1.1 respectively. 192.168.1.145 is the DMZ system for that internet connection. Here is the default entry in the system's routing table:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default 10.0.1.1 UGSc 4 8 en0
I need both interfaces to reply to requests to their public IPs backthrough the correct gateway and not the default gateway. This is because of bandwidth constraints and the need to perform nightly backups of substantial amounts of data from our business hour VOIP connection, but allow the existing default gateway to remain first in the network service order list.
I have thus far tried the following based on what I could learn from this and other forums across the Web. I have enabled forwarding with the following command:
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
Then I have applied a fwd rule to ipfw that purports to route requests made to the en2 local address back through the correct gateway:
sudo ipfw add fwd 192.168.1.1 ip from 192.168.1.145 to not 192.168.1.145 out
However, this does not work and there is no response from the en2 gateway when trying to access the system from that gateway's public IP.
Can anyone see something obvious that I'm missing or point me at an online resource that will let me figure out how to get this working?
Many thanks in advance.

I sounds like what you need is a static route to the IP address of whatever is on the other end of the Retrospect request. The command would look something like this:
sudo route -n add -host host_address -gateway router_address
where host_address is the IP address of whatever the Retrospect request is going to, and router_address is the gateway you want it to go out of.
A caveat here is that the route entry does not survive a reboot, so you'd want to create a startup item, or preferably a launch daemon to do this for you automatically on startup.

  • Transfer music from iPod to iPod on the same system

    How do you transfer music from iPod to iPod when you have 2 iPods connected to the same computer, I'm having a hard times to do a transfer, please help. Thanks

    You can't transfer directly from one iPod to another. If you have songs on one iPod that aren't on the other you have to copy them to iTunes and update your iPod from there.
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of non purchased content is designed to be one way, from iTunes to the iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

  • Is it possible to output multiple clips from a multitrack session, at the same time?

    I'm using Audition CC 2014.2
    on Windows 7 Pro x64
    I am trying to figure out how to output several clips from a multitrack session, at the same time.
    A session like this:
    Is it possible to output 5 files right now?
    I can select each one (or even multiple) and use File > Export > Multitrack Mixdown > Selected Clips to do one at a time only.
    I'm hoping for a way to give each clip (or group of clips) a predefined filename, by perhaps using markers or something like that, which would then allow me to faster "automate" the exporting of each section into a different sound file.
    This ability would be really helpful when using a single multitrack session to generate multiple sounds and a change to globally applied effects is made and all sounds now need to be updated.
    Any ideas?

    They are, yes, but I'm also working with multitrack sessions using clips made from various different sound files.
    Ahh ok, use markers?
    So, this sort of thing isn't possible in multitrack mode then?
    If not, it sounds I'll have to "mix down" my multitrack session into a single file and set up the markers in Waveform Edit view.
    That's an extra step I'd have to do, and after editing the multitrack session, surely some markers . . . oh wait, no . . . every time I output the new mix down file from the multitrack I'd need to redo all the markers. Drat . . .
    Honestly, I am very new to Audition, but I'm about to plow into it, big-time, and I'm hoping for a nice non-destructive and fast workflow that'll enable me to output sets of sounds from the same multitrack session.
    But, it seems like this functionality is currently missing.

  • How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network?

    How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network? Thanks

    You can do it manually, but it is much simpler if you use a tool such as Back To My Mac, LogMeIn, or something like that. Those programs enable you to connect to your computer through your router without you having to adjust the router settings manually.

    Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet.  The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing.  With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

  • How can I plott data from a text file in the same way as a media player using the pointer slide to go back and fort in my file?

    HI Martin,
    i am not realy sure what you want!?!?
    i think you want to display only a part of the values you read from XYZ
    so what you can do:
    write all the values in an array.
    the size of the array is the max. value of the slide bar
    now you can select a part of the array (e.g. values from 100 to 200) and display this with a graph
    the other option is to use the history function of the graphes
    regards

  • How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12

    How do I put all the songs from a compilation album into the same /album/folder in Itunes v12 i know in other versions it was via get info but as all of the tunes have the same album title , I am not sure what tio change to achieve this ?

    I don't see your screenshot but I assume you're starting with something like this, i.e., the compilation split into multiple albums:
    If you select all the items that you want to be in a single album, right-click > Get Info you'll see this:
    As you say, in iTunes 12 you don't see a field to enter a distinct Album Artist value.  You can, however, address this by clicking the Add Field button and selecting Album Artist:
    That makes the field available in the metadata dialog so that you can enter the required value:
    You can also show the pre-iTunes 12 version of the dialog by holding the SHIFT key when selecting Get Info - this allows you to enter the Album Artist directly:

  • Is there a way to keep selected apps that you have on your admin account inaccessible and unseen from another admin account on the same Mac?

    My sister and I share computers, but it's really her Mac because she got it for her birthday.  I'm using it because there is no other place to hold my iTunes library, documents, photos, etc.
    She complains that I make the computer too slow after I downloaded/installed too many apps from the Mac App Store using my admin account and my iTunes account.   However, they show up on her account as well, and she doesn't want to see them or have her computer slow down, so she deletes them.  Is there a way to make certain apps unseen and inaccessible from other admin users on the same machine?

    Only by storing them on an encrypted disk image. Anyone who has an administrator password to a Mac can use it to access all unencrypted data on the system.

  • I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in order of the times they were taken, is there a trick?

    I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in the order of the times they were taken, any ideas on how to do this?

    Just import them normally and sort the project by date. They will fall into place. If you tried this and it isn;t happening then make sure the data and times on the two cameras are identical and make sure you are sorting by date and time and nothing else.

  • HT1473 If I already own a song (from a different album) and the same song is in an album which I want to get, do I still have to pay for the song?

    Other details:
    First album/s- Dookie (Green Day), american idiot (green day)
    and 21st century breakdown (green day)
    Album with same songs in it- international super hits (green day)

    If I already own a song (from a different album) and the same song is in an album which I want to get, do I still have to pay for the song?
    Yes.
    The album which the song has been listed under (on the song's page) is listed in your library under that album. The song is then removed automatically from the first album
    No it's not.
    Purchasing a new song or album will not affect any other song or album in your library.
    In the case of the two albums you mention, if you purchase them both, you will have the same song (different copies) in both albums.

  • Accessing a private variable from a public method of the same class

    can anyone please tell me how to access a private variable, declared in a private method from a public method of the same class?
    here is the code, i'm trying to get the variable int[][][] grids.
    public static int[][] generateS(boolean[][] constraints)
      private static int[][][] sudokuGrids()
        int[][][] grids; // array of arrays!
        grids = new int[][][]
        {

    Are you sure that you want to have everything static here? You're possibly throwing away all the object-oriented goodness that java has to offer.
    Anyway, it seems to me that you can't get to that variable because it is buried within a method -- think scoping rules. I think that if you want to get at that variable your program design may be under the weather and may benefit from a significant refactoring in an OOP-manner.
    If you need more specific help, then ask away, but give us more information please about what you are trying to accomplish here and how you want to do this. Good luck.

  • I am from Egypt did I have the same problem in FaceTime like Saudi Arabia ? I have 4s 16G black

    I am from Egypt did I have the same problem in FaceTime like Saudi Arabia ? I have 4s 16G black

    I suspect you're asking this question because you don't have FaceTime on your phone, correct? It wouldn't make any sense to ask these questions if you did.
    Since you most likely don't, it appears you puchased an iPhone that originated from a source where FaceTime is banned. If so, there is no way to add it to your phone.

  • Is it possible to import photos from a disk and retain the same order?

    Is i possible to import photos from a disk and retain the same order they appear on the disk?  When I import them, the come out in random order.

    When first imported the photos will be sorted in the Event chronologically. On the disk they well be sorted by the Finder and that's usually alphanumerically by file name. So select the photos in the event and type Commnad+N.  That will create a new album at the left with the photos in it. Then go to the View ➙ Sort Photo menu and select "By Title".  That should give you the same order as you view the photos on the disk via the Finder.
