There's an aspect of this problem that doesn't seem to have anything to
do with subnets being on the same wire.  Suppose I have two subnets of,
for instance, 192.12.220  that are on different cables but the route
between them goes through a gateway that has no interfaces on 192.12.220.
How do I configure that gateway?  What I really want to say is

  route add net 192.12.220.64 netmask 0xFFFFFFF0 gateway 128.104.38.20 1
