Greetings, we have been experiencing a random timeout issue with VPN users connecting to one of our servers which is causing a problem. My network administrator has instructed me to configure a secondary gateway to include the VPN connection.

My current connection resides as follows, 10.1.9.1 is the internal gateway to the internet, I'd like to add 10.1.1.20 as the VPN gateway.

# Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=10.1.255.255
IPADDR=10.1.1.22
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
NETMASK=255.255.0.0
NETWORK=10.1.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
GATEWAY=10.1.9.1
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes
