Fresh installation 9.1

[hrkesh sahu]

Hi All,
IPv4 Routing  -
------------------------
I disabled the DHCP from rc.conf for both the interface. but still I am not
able to route trafic from one interface to another.

rc.conf
---------------
hostname="idc-freebsd"
keymap="hy.armscii-8.kbd"
#ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
#ifconfig_rl0="DHCP"
dumpdev="NO"
ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.100.101 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig_re0="inet 192.168.200.101 netmask 255.255.255.0
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES"
gateway_enable="YES"
default_router="192.168.200.1"

I am using FreeBSD - 9.1 Release version

I need to communicate between two different subnets.

Am i missing anything to enable freebsd as router?
Do i need to add a route entry?

If possible could you please share rc.conf file with IPv4 routing?

Regards
Hrisikesh
