I am a new Linux user (RedHat 8.0) and have sever performance problems.  I
am using this Linux box with two 1Gb NICs connected to two separate 1Gb VLAN
ports on a 3Com switch.  The purpose is to route between two LANs.  I am
experiencing very poor performance and would like some advice on
configuration.  I am currently using only two iptables commands to route
traffic.

NIC 1 - eth0
IP		10.0.10.100
Subnet		255.255.0.0
Default Gateway	10.0.10.10 (Cisco Router for Internet and VPN connections)

NIC 2- eth1
IP		10.10.10.100
Subnet		255.255.0.0
Default Gateway	10.0.10.100

iptables -A FORWARD -s 10.10.0.0/16 -d! 10.10.0.0/16 -i eth1 -o eth0
iptables -A FORWARD -s 10.0.0.0/16 -d! 10.0.0.0/16 -i eth0 -o eth1

Is there a better way to do this?  Any suggestions?
