routing broadcast traffic

hi,

I have a query to be addressed.

I have setup a linux machine to act as a router between two networks
eg. 10.0.0.0 and 192.168.1.0

I have enabled ip_forwarding and so I am able to ping between two
machines on either side of the network

I need to direct broadcast traffic (UDP - port 390) from 192.168.1.0 network to
10.0.0.0 network (all machines)

Can you please provide me with the steps required to do the same ?

thanks.

By default, you should from the 192.168.1.0 side, be able to ping
10.255.255.255 (depending on what broadcast address the 10 network
clients are configured with.

You should also be able to ping 192.168.1.255 from the 10. network and
get a reply back from every Linux box (not all OSs reply to broadcast
pings. This includes Windows).

But generally speaking, you shouldn't route broadcast traffic.
