[LARTC] U-turn route

Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control

 I have tested this, it seems to be working but I need double confirmation
:-

Given for example,

hostA: 192.168.0.1/24

routerB: 192.168.0.2/24
              192.228.118.2/24

routeC: 192.168.0.3/24
            192.228.110.3/24

In other words, A,B,C are sitted in the same LAN, while
B and C each has an external network connected to it.

Given the hostA is rather dumb and that we can only configure one
default route, and that we have defaulted the route to B. In order
for A to be able to access C's external network, we configure
a U-turn route at B, ie the packet hop onto B and then re-forwarded
on the same interface to C.

Is this something commonly done ? Any issue with it ?

Regards.
