Dear Morons,

The problem is actually not routing at all, rather a misconfigured
proftpd.

On the subject of routing, looking at mussel it appears to be all
fucked, but its hanging together due to proxy arping.

Can someone please explain the route for 203.91.64.0/24 ?

This is what I think it should make everyone happy:

Make proftpd use NIS.

route add -net 130.95.13.0 netmask 255.255.255.192 dev eth0
route add -net 130.95.13.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 130.95.13.3
route add -net 172.26.42.0 netmask 255.255.255.192 dev eth0
route add -net 130.95.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 130.95.13.1
route add -net 203.24.97.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 130.95.13.1
route add default gw 172.26.42.1

The second last route is for the cygnus subnets.

I have to go to a tute now.
