define GATEWAY in /etc/sysconfig/network and or /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

[Dave Martini]

Hi Harry thanks much.
Do you mean that if you defined each ifcfg with it's own gateway
and there is a default gateway defined in the netowrk file that
will take precedence?

If you ping a machine what gateway will the OS use, the one
in the network file or the one in the ifcfg or both?
