The routing desicion is between OUTPUT an POSTROUTING, POSTROUTING means AFTER routing.
So you may say: "Locally generated packet" -> OUTPUT -> "Routing Desicion" -> POSTROUTING.
yes i know, i do it now, but the question was, still is, there are other "tips" left out of the AdvRoutingHOWTO ????
so the new/more real graph is:
/----------\ /-------\ /-------\ /-----------\ IN->-< PREROUTING >->-< FORWARD >->-< routing >->-< POSTROUTING >->-OUT \----------/ \-------/ \-------/ \-----------/ \ ^ \ | /-----\ /-------------\ /------\ < INPUT >->-< LOCAL PROCESS >->-< OUTPUT > \-----/ \-------------/ \------/
it's corect?
now that i started this thread, i want to finnish the picture :)
