Need some advise on how a route can be influenced at the customer premise end. Assuming I have a ADSL connection to the internet with static IP, ie IP for ADSL modem: 210.1.2.85 IP for customer premise: 210.1.2.86 ( Linux ) Default GW for the Linux is configured as the ADSL modem. However, due to whatever reason, we could like to take an alternative route for certain destinations, so we add ( besides default route ) :- route add -host 202.1.2.38 gw 210.48.1.7 However, we found, based on limited information I have, this route never take effect. Is it because the route has been overwritten by the ADSL modem once the packet has been routed through it ?
