Jacob, Could you use the following instead: # iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth3 -d 1.1.1.1/24 -j DNAT \ > --to-destination ip.ad.dr.es It circumvents the problem you are trying to avoid, I think. -Martin : I want to do something like this: : : ip addr add 1.1.1.1/24 brd + dev eth3 scope link table my_table : : so that : 1. Direct route 1.1.1.1/24 should go to table my_table. : 2. Address 1.1.1.1 should be recognizes as a local only for packets received on dev eth3. : : Any suggestions ? : Thanks : - Jacob : : : : : : _______________________________________________ : LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl : http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/ : -- Martin A.
