Hi, All Sorry for English But I need new ideas for my problem I have a local network, server with 2 Internet channels Local computers connect to server via VPN. Task: some users go to Internet through first Internet channel other through second. System Suse 9.2, kernel 2.6.8. I read iproute documentaion and configured routes. Ping from server go through 2 channels. ping -I eth_inet1 www.ya.ru - Reply... ping -I eth_inet2 www.ya.ru - Reply... PROBLEM: server must MASQUERADE local users (VPN - clients) connection and then pass them to Internet. From VPN clients NO connection (no ping) to Internet (logs below). MASQUERADE in iptables I replaced with SNAT rule , becouse MASQ with kernel 2.6, iproute2 и multiple routing tables logs that: >MASQUERADE kernel: Route sent us somewhere else. SNAT works. Simplier task: thereis One Internet interface, but I want to go to Internet throught iproute rules - thereis no default gateway in table main. VPN clients and other conditions are present. Internet gateway - 192.168.21.254 (the same network with server) Server info: ifconfig: eth0 Link encap: Ethernet inet addr:192.168.21.210 VPN server listen on this interface.

But if additional type next commands: ip route add 172.23.1.3 dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 172.23.1.1 table inet ip rule add from any lookup inet then works ping www.ya.ru from server and from VPN client, but it's the same as general default gateway. There is my mistake? Why VPN client can't go to Internet& -- Best regards, karyon mailto:karyon@xxxxxxx яяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяяЛВ™ЁҐЉx%ЉЛ,SщљЉYљџчlхЇз–m§яя™ЁҐ™©яvПZюy™ЁҐ™©я–+-ЉwиюV«µБОY3я†Ыiяяеj»\юЉа
