Hello there, : Now i change the machine for a Sun Enterprise 250 (Sparc64 with Debian : 3.0r1) and iptables works fine (the packets are marked) but iproute : don't send them by the correct interface (only use the default gateway, : ppp0). I compile from source the kernel (2.4.19, 2.4.20, 2.4.21) with : the last patch-o-matic and several versions of iproute. Sounds to me like the kernel hasn't been compiled with support for multiple routing tables, or hasn't been compiled with support for routing with fwmark. Do you have CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_FWMARK=y in your kernel config? -Martin -- Martin A. Brown --- SecurePipe, Inc. --- mabrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
