Multiple networks on one single interface.

Over at my company we have two servers.
One running win2000 SMB this one is giving out public IP adresses through DHCP, used for filesharing, mail and routing trafic to the internet. A second server running Sun OS5.5.1 is used as database server, this one is configured to use a private IP-range.

Some clients (winXP and Win2000) on our network need to acces both servers.
Is it possible to change the routing table on these clients to acces both one one single interface? And where can in find more detailed information on how to change the routing tables on these clients (pref. with some sample tables).

TIA,

Rob
 
Each "network" must be on a different "segment". Use a router between the
segment to route between them.

Anytime a LAN has a "LAN Router", that LAN Router should be the Default
Gateway of the Hosts and not some Internet NAT Device. It is the LAN Router
that then uses the Internet NAT Device as its own DFG.

You said the DB Server uses a private address,...does this imply that the
other network does not? You network design is too fuzzy and unclear to deal
with.

Why are you using public IPs on your LAN at all? Why not switch everyone
over to use the private IPs, all dished out by your SBS server, and be done
with it? For Internet access, you need a firewall/router/ISA.....and all
servers and workstations should specify *only* the internal AD-integrated
DNS server's IP address in their network settings. The AD-integrated DNS
server should be set up with forwarders to your ISP's DNS servers for
external resolution.

This won't be an issue at all if you put everyone on private IPs (on the
same range/subnet) as you should.
