there are probably more appropriate places to ask this, but i like you
guys!

is it possible to have a route specified on an interface that is not
assigned an ip?  for example, on my lvs machines, i have traffic coming in
to some public ip on interface eth1, but then want to forward it via
direct routing to a real server on 192.168.100.0/24.  i was hoping to do
this over eth2.  this probably doesn't make any sense, as direct routing
works on the link layer, but...i'm kinda confused.  does anyone understand
what i'm saying and would care to enlighten me?  this would work if i put
a 192.168.100.x ip on eth2, correct?  but without it, route add -net
192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth2 just gives me an error about
eth2 not existing or some such mess.

...?

-tcl.
