Hey all, I'm testing out Julian's patches, (2.4.16-6/Dec 14th), and
noticing some good, and weird results.
I followed the Nano-HOWTO, and can't say that I understand all of it,
but I'm slowly trying to get a grasp. :)
Right now, my rules look like this:
[root@xxxxxxxxx linux]# ip rule ls
0: from all lookup local
50: from all lookup 50
201: from 216.187.106.224 lookup 201
202: from 24.112.58.139 lookup 202
222: from all lookup 222
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
[root@xxxxxxxxx linux]# ip route show table 50
216.187.106.128/25 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 216.187.106.224
192.62.100.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.62.100.1
24.112.58.0/23 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 24.112.58.139
[root@xxxxxxxxx linux]# ip route show table 201
default via 216.187.106.252 dev eth2 proto static src 216.187.106.224
prohibit default proto static metric 1
[root@xxxxxxxxx linux]# ip route show table 202
default via 24.112.58.139 dev eth1 proto static src 24.112.58.139
prohibit default proto static metric 1
[root@xxxxxxxxx linux]# ip route show table 222
24.0.0.0/8 proto static
nexthop via 24.112.58.1 dev eth1 weight 2
nexthop via 216.187.106.252 dev eth2 weight 1
default proto static
nexthop via 216.187.106.252 dev eth2 weight 2
nexthop via 24.112.58.1 dev eth1 weight 1
If I unplug the DSL modem that's connected to eth2, after about a
minute or two, all clients start to be routed through the cable modem
on eth1.
However, I then decided I wanted to try and add a multipath route to
24.0.0.0/8 that uses eth1 in preference to eth2.
I find though, that no matter what, even after flushing the route
cache, some requests for 24.x.x.x addresses are still sent via eth2
even though eth1 is up and alive.
Is this supported?
I'm not sure what other information might be helpful, let me know if
any.
