I have already read through what seemed to be the relevant sections, but
unfortunately, am no further ahead. Specifically, sections 3, 4 and 11, but
from everything I read, they all seem to be pointing to configuration on a
per device basis. Given that eth0:0 is only a virtual device, the ip tool
doesn't seem to like it very much. From what I can tell, it seems as though
I have to mark the packets on the way in from gw1 differently than those
coming in from gw2, and then use the ip route to add different gateways
based on the routing table, but again, I am having trouble understanding how
to do this with a single device only.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Eric
