Thank you for the detailed response. Will try it with just the defaults.

from the command line - long time ago.
First, let me explain what these net's are: instructions to the master as to how it can reach a system to install it, and v.v.
The easiest way to have nim networks work is to just give each network only a default route. However, if there a different router that must be used then think first in terms of the classic route statement, and what you would need to get to a system already operational. NIM uses nim_network routes to determine what route commands are needed to connect client and server (generally master).
on server/master :
route -net default default_router
route -net client_net client_net_specific_router
on client:
route -net default default_client_router
route -net nim_serverOrMaster_net nim_services_specific_route
So, for now, I suggest you check if two default routes, one for each networks are already sufficient. And only add networks if additional routes are needed for a specific communication path that the default routers cannot resolve.

From the command line, how do I create a static route between the master and the client?
Two networks defined:
masternet
clientnet
Two servers defined:
masterserver
clientserver
Gateway IPs
For master: 10.20.0.1
For client: 10.10.0.1
nim -o change -a routing1='clientnet 10.20.0.1 10.10.0.1' masternet
nim -o change -a routing1='clientnet master clientserver' masternet
The second attempt wouldn't allow me to use master.
Both servers have routing1 default route from when they were first created.
