[LARTC] Forcing an "external" route

Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control

Here is as wacky a situation as you might find...

   Given a linux box with two ethernet cards:
       eth0  at ip 192.168.100
       eth1 at ip 172.16.1.100,
   and an internet "appliance" with two ethernet ports:
       p0 at ip 192.168.1.101
       p1 at ip 172.16.1.1,

I want to force packets from eth0 <--> eth1 to take the path eth0 <--> p0 <--> p1<-->eth1.

What I have here is an appliance that I want to run some throughput tests.

The cables are set up eth0 <--> p0 and p1<-->eth1 and work (pings work just fine)....
no matter what I try, the kernel is too smart for me :-) , and it routes internally (inside the linux box) instead of entering the outside world.


Any ideas?
