Hi Patrick, Thanks for you message. I double checked, and my kernel .config is "y" to FWMARKing. I'm on 2.4.20-13.8 with iptables 1.2.8. The netfilter list suggested *not* using an aliased address, which i tried and that failed. bummer. More testing ... BTW, is there a way to trace or debug what's going on on my machine to track the route lookup process? Thanks!
