Hi

This may be a basic OSPF question or PM question.

I have two networks, A and B. Two machines are gateways between the two
networks, like this:

+-------+
| PM |
+---+---+
| A.54
A |
--------+-----------+------------------+--------------
| A.30 | A.19
| |
+----+-----+ +-----+-----+
| G1 | | G2 |
+----+-----+ +-----+-----+
| B.17 | B.15
B | |
--------------------+------------------+--------------

What I would like is for the PM to use G2 when going to the B network, but
sofar I have not managed to convince it. I'm running 3.7.2 with OSPF on
the PM, and gated on the G1 and G2 machines. G2 is set to priority 6, G1
is priority 2.
G1 came to life before G2 was in use, but all have been rebooted,
including the PM. Other machines on the A network that are running gated
use G2 as the gateway to the B network.
For a while B.15 was B.19, I changed it to .15 in hope that my help, but
it didn't. Even when going directly to B.15, the PM sends it to A.30.
So, short of setting a static route in the PM for the B network what can I
do?
