I am trying to determine how to best increase the number of routing tables available in linux 2.6 to more than 255. I realize this involves increasing the storage of some messages to and from the kernel in addition to kernel changes (from browsing the code), and was hopeful that someone might know what the correct solution would be or could point me in the right direction (like existing patches or a highlevel of what I need to change in the code). Additionally, I was curious how the ip *rule* system works in regards to matching -- is it a linear search or optimized in some way. Basically what I'm asking is if adding rules to a machine adds time to the whole system passing over various rules that don't match. This all comes down to a seutp I have that has a lot of routing tables and at least one or two rules to get into each routing table. I don't want to increase the number of routing tables if also increasing the number of rules on the box is going to do more harm than good.
