[Lustre-discuss] lustre routing between two IP networks (public private)

We have 3 machines that live on both the private network where the bulk 
of the lustre clients and all the servers are located, and several 
clients on the second network of the 3 machines that also need to access 
the lustre file system.  We do this via lnet routing.  From the 
modprobe.conf on each machine:

Typical clients on the "primary" network:
options lnet networks=tcp0(eth0)

The 3 router machines:
options lnet networks=tcp0(eth0),tcp2(eth1.562) forwarding="enabled"

The remote clients:
options lnet networks="tcp2(eth0)" routes="tcp0 
141.211.101.[9,11,97]@tcp2" check_routers_before_use=1 auto_down=1 
dead_router_check_interval=50 live_router_check_interval=100

On the OSS machines:
options lnet networks=tcp0(bond0.4010) routes="tcp2 10.10.1.[50-52]@tcp0"
