OK. I posted this under the old subject, but no one answered. Let's try again. Season's Greetings: If anyone is still watching this thread "A complicated routing scenario (for me at least)", I'm still working on my setup. Today I have a very specific question: I execute the following command at the prompt: ip rule add from 100.100.100.80/29 to 10.5.5.0/24 iif eth0 lookup dmz-lan priority 230 Then I run the following: >ip rule ls Which among other things lists the following for the rule I just added above: >230: from 100.100.100.80/24 to 10.5.5.0/24 iif eth0 lookup dmz-lan (it IS typed correctly) Furthermore if I try to run the following going off the output of ip rule ls above: >ip rule delete from 100.100.100.80/24 to 10.5.5.0/24 iif eth0 I get the following answer: >RTNETLINK answers: no such process But if I run the command modified slightly as follows: >ip rule delete from 100.100.100.80/29 to 10.5.5.0/24 iif eth0 It works (deletes the rule) and ip rule ls verfies that it no longer exists. What is going on?! It seems to me that ip rule ls should match what I put in with ip rule add. Why isn't it? BTW. all the above IP addresses are completely bogus.
