Hello Bertl, Let me explain with exact flow of packets in my LAN to INTERNET I N T E R N E T / \ ------------- ------------- | a.b.c.e | | w.x.y.u | | router1 | | router2 | ------------- ------------- \ / \ / \ / ----------- | Switch | ----------- | | | eth1 eth1 a.b.c.d gw a.b.c.e -------------- eth1:0 w.x.y.z gw w.x.y.u | | | linux | | | -------------- eth0 172.16.1.1 eth0 eth0:0 192.168.1.1 | | I want to forward all packet from 172.16.1.0/24 Network to router 1 and from 192.168.1.0/24 Network to router2. In the linux box i am doing advance routing and iptables. Here i am using iptables just for masquerading the rules are #/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -p icmp --icmp-type ping -s 0/0 -d 0/0 -j MASQUERADE #/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 -j MASQUERADE Linux box's default gw is w.x.y.u and i added only following command #echo 200 isp1 >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables #ip rule add from 172.16.1.0/24 table isp1 #ip rule ls 0: from all lookup local 32765: from 172.16.1.0/24 lookup isp1 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default #ip route add default via a.b.c.e dev eth1 table isp1 #ip route flush cache It is not forwarding if packet from 172.16.1.0/24 but works fine if packets from 192.168.1.0/24. If i delete default gw and ip rule and add a.d.c.e as default gw than packets from both networks forwarded to router1. #ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:06:5b:38:99:a8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 172.16.1.1/24 brd 172.16.1.255 scope global eth0 inet 192.168.1.1/24 brd 190.190.1.255 scope global eth0:0 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:06:5b:38:99:a9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet a.b.c.d/28 brd *.*.*.* scope global eth1 inet w.x.y.z/28 brd *.*.*.* scope global eth1:0 # ip route *.*.*.*/28 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src a.b.c.d *.*.*.*/28 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src w.x.y.z 172.16.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.1.1 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.1 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link default via w.x.y.u dev eth0 Thanks Suresh _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
