Solaris8 network question part2

All I have to do to access my 192.168.17.12 interface is:
route delete default 192.168.16.1; route add default 192.168.17.1

If I want to access my interface 192.168.16.12 I just do
route delete default 192.168.17.1; route add default 192.168.16.1

Is there any way not to do any of the above lines and be able to access
either 192.168.16.12 and 192.168.17.12? There must be a way to do this. I
just cant imagine this is impossible task... :( please help.

Sorry, my diagram was not totally correct.. Here is the updated version of
it which will I think explain the problem slightly more. My PC does not have
2 interfaces, it has only one interface and it is connected to a switch,
then my switch is connected to two different routers/locations.

I am not really sure what to do at this point. Network .16. and network .17.
are not connected in any way together in that location. I do not care if I
can connect to 192.168.16.12 from both ends, all I care that I can connect
to 192.168.16.12 trough one T1 and I can also connect to 192.168.17.12 using
the second T1 from my PC or any other system inside this location. I would
not like to setup my Sun box as a router since I don't want any traffic to
pass trough my Sun server except for what is directed to it....

Any other suggestions are more than welcome, I already got few replies and
hope I can get this to work using your help.

Once again thanks so much for help.

Chris

Subject: Solaris8 network question

I have a system in a different location. I have two ways to get to that
environment. One is going trough New York dedicated T1 and the other is
going trough Georgia dedicated T1.

I did setup my system with two IP's
bge0 interface has 192.168.17.12 IP
and
bge1 interface has 192.168.16.12 IP

I have switches in front of those two interfaces. They have 192.168.17.2 and
192.168.16.2 IP addresses. There are also routers with 192.168.17.1 and
192.168.16.1 IP's.

Now, I can get to both switches and routers without any problem but
depending on which IP has a default gateway on my unix I can get to it only
from one direction. So if I set it up with 192.168.16.1 as a default gateway
I am only to get to 192.168.16.12 IP address and the same is if I do it for
.17. network.

Is there a way to setup my Solaris 8 box to be able to get to either IP
without any problems from two different/separate routes?
If yes what do I need to do to make it working?

   +-------- T1 -------- 192.168.16.1 ------- 192.168.16.2 -----+
   | router1 switch1 |
   | |

+--+--+ +-----+---+
|my PC| | Sun Box |
+--+--+ +-----+---+
   | |
192.168.17.12
   +-------- T1 -------- 192.168.17.1 ------- 192.168.17.2 -----+
                            router2 switch2

Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
