Something like /sbin/ipchains -A output -t 0x01 0x10 will set the minimum delay flag on every outgoing packet. See also the (quite excellent) IPchains HOWTO by Rusty Russell. Note: the question isn't all that off-topic. The route-cache Linux uses is keyed on the triple <source address, destination address, type of service>. I've already encountered a situation in which I *had* to whack the TOS bits into submission in order to let connections be routed somewhat sanely. Doei, Arthur.
