Tomas, It never occurred to me to try "ip route flush table all". Does it work? [ I'll have to try that on my critical Internet connected router! ;-) ] I have gotten in the habit of using "ip route flush table $ID" for any table I'm about to populate with routes. This way, I know I'm starting from an empty routing table. Typically I don't muck about with the main routing table, and just use the RPDB to override the routes configured in the main routing table. I don't know what you mean by the "default" routing table, but the local routing table is a very important routing table--it's the first one consulted in most route lookups, to see if the IP is a locally hosted IP, a broadcast address, or a (dumb) NAT transformation. Have a good day, -Martin : when you are using full policy routing (multiple tables and rules for every network), : is one supposed to wipe all the tables clean with : : "ip route flush table all" : : or use : : "ip route flush table main" : : and still be sure that the policy routing works as it's supposed to? : : indeed, i dont know what the local and default tables are really doing. : : : enlighentment would be appriciated. : : best regards, : tomas : _______________________________________________ : LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx : http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/ : -- Martin A.
