Hi all, this might have been covered, although going over the archives at mailman.ds9a.nl, I haven't been able to find it: I seem to be missing the default table, even though I've got a local and main table: [root@xxxxxxxxx net]# ip rule 0: from all lookup local 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup 253 Instead, I've got a '253' table... 'wolverine' is a multihomed machine with addresses on the following networks: 64.26.132.192/26 192.168.8.0/24 192.62.100.0/24 It has a default route on the 64.26.132.192 network, and also routes to 192.168.8.2 which has a cable modem attached. What I want to do is have all traffic from 192.62.100.0/24 routed through a default gateway of 192.168.8.2 instead of wolverine's default gateway. I've accomplished this easily by creating a new table '1' and rule, the table being created before the 'main' table. The problem is, with this setup, all traffic for the 64.26.132.192/26 network from 192.62.100.0/24 is also routed through 192.168.8.2. I got around this by adding an explicit rule to route via 64.26.132.193 for anything on 64.26.132.192/26 into table 1. I was under the impression that my 3 main tables should have been 'local', 'main', and 'default'. 'main' would contain routes to adjacent networks, and 'default' would contain default routes. So I could have solved my problem by just creating a table with precidence in between main and default, and changed the default gateway for 192.62.100.0/24 without changing network routes too. Does this make sense? And if so, does anyone know why I have a table '253' with nothing in it, and no 'default'? I'm running iproute2-2.2.4-now-ss001007.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru, with kernel 2.4.5. My userland utilities, like ifconfig, ifup, etc are from RH6.2ish. Would they make a difference?
