I have 2 virtual machines that I would now like to give access to the internet. I currently have a Speedtouch 585 ADSL wireless router. My host machine (running OpenSuSE 10.2) connects to this through a wireless-ethernet bridge and my two virtual machines are configured on vmnet1. Something like this;

ADSL Router - - - - - - -eth0 on Host - - - - - - - virtual switch (vmnet1) - - - - - virtual machines

I've enabled ipforwarding on the host, so from a virtual machine I can now ping eth0 on the host, as well as the vmnet1 interface. I have also configured DNS on the host so from a virtual machine I can now do an nslookup to anything and that works beautifully.

My question is, how would I configure my routing with quagga and ripd? Do I even need to use routing, can I use a 'route add' command to link up between the eth0 interface and my ADSL router?

A bit confused here to be honest :(

Thanks.
