So propably, when you are tracerouting , etc, system bind uses different source ip, so you don't see the same thing as being done by kernel for packet with sources 192.168.1.0/24. Add the same rule as "ip rule add prio 221 table 221" to put everything to table 203, then everything to table 221. Try it, and hope to hear you soon.
