I've added the following to the st.cmd boot file. The IP is the IP of the gateway for the subnet of the IOC server.

# for beyond-subnet CA clients
routeAdd "0", "198.35.10.10"

Greetings,
I have a curious problem concerning multi-subnet connectivity when converting from Epics 3.13.2 to Epics 3.14.8.2. Using the same network setup and database the 3.13 db can communicate across subnets while the 3.14 db gets a link error.
Again, if iocfb1 is running Epics 3.13.2 and Tornado 1.0.1 then there is no link error and there's communication between the two subnets, but if iocfb1 is running Epics 3.14.8.2 and Tornado 2.2.1 then I get a link error. Any suggestions?

        field(SCAN,"Passive")
        field(INP,"iocmc1:heartbeat.VAL")
       }
