ip_forward still set to 0

[Eddie Shi <eshi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
  I set up one linux virtual server here and it works . The only problem
I encountered was
  my /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward still has 0 in the file. I am using
Redhat 5.1 and brought a new 2.0.35 kernel to integrate virtual server
to it. I have to manually modify ip_forward to 1.

  During the boot, I saw something like " set ip_forward off " ,"
syscntl: failed ". Looks to me that the system tried to turn ip_forward
on but failed. My system has two interface cards running on Pentium X86
platform.


  Thanks ahead for your attention.


Eddie
