Right, so I followed http://library.linode.com/networking/co ... interfaces for setting up my Private IPs so that my webserver can communicate with my database server without a huge amount of bandwidth.

Well, I cannot ping from my webserver to my database server's private IP.

Here's the output of netstat -rn:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
69.164.211.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
192.168.128.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.128.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
0.0.0.0         69.164.211.1    0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth0

Could someone steer me in the right direction? I've got a ticket in, but not sure if they can help with this or not.

Could you perhaps have some firewall in place on either machine that hasn't been updated to account for the internal traffic?

Did you remember to reboot both machines?

Have you verified the config on both of them?

i hope they're in the same data center, too.
