This is because the kernel dump code on the crashed machine does not ARP for the ethernet address of the dump server. Instead it sends it to the default gateway and expects the gateway to forward it.

Your choices are to put the dump server on a different subnet (the router will obviously forward in this case, as that what it must do) or write your own arp code in a modified kernel. That's what we did, since we already had kernel mods. Most folks won't go that way :)

I've run into this for as long as I can remember having dumps. My workaround is to set the default route to be the dump server. This works best when you are planning in advance to crash the machine :) Drew _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
