I have 2 droplets in one region. Both of them have private ip addresses and they can reach each other by those addresses. I need one droplet to act as a router for second droplet for specific network ranges. First droplet in configured as a simple router. For example I add custom route on second droplet ip ro add 1.1.1.0/24 via <private_ip_of_first_droplet> The rule is added, but packets for network 1.1.1.0/24 still does not go through first droplet. Tcpdump sees nothing. Is it possible to configure such scheme?

Hi there,
Just a quick follow-up on this, it is now possible to achieve this with the new VPC offering.
In case anyone comes across this in the future, you can follow the steps here:
