Looking at the HOWTO for iproute2 isee examples where they create a rule and make a look up table (the John example). I have installed iproute2 but don't seem to have a: /etc/rt_tables/ path. Why? I want to map marked packets(using iptables) to realms and all packets within a realm to have the same route regardless of destination. What if two marked packets have the same destination ? Thanks for any help Greg. -- ---------------------- Gregory OSINAIKE (ee9829@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Electronic Engineering Department Queen Mary and Westfield College
