But you can try to understand the settings provided in the docs. The essential thing to understand is how the ip rules and routes are ordered, how the NAT uses the routing, why the NAT in plain kernels sometimes breaks with multipath routes, what kind of nexthops the kernel can live with, can you live without dead gateway detection, if not, how it works (in kernel? help from user space?), etc. > May I post the script I used to try this out?
