Fwd: I admit I am rookie to IP routing. Looking for a little bet of simple help configuring BIRD for simple routing.

[Myron]

You're right Hans..  I did mean 192.168.0.0/24, 192.168.30.0/24 and
192.168.31.0/24.
Also forgot that DHCP does not get sent through a gateway.

What I'm after is for each internal network to be able to talk and receive
from the others.

So, if I have a printer on 192.168.0.20, for that printer to be accessible
from the 192.168.30.0/24 and 192.168.31.0/24.
Also if there is some device on 192.168.31.0/24 that it can talk to a
device on 192.168.0.0/24.
etc....

If it's any other network then the packets get routed to 192.168.0.1 to be
routed to the Internet.

The Internet Provider supplied router does not allow for static routing
tables to be setup.
