I've found the answer in debian-firewall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx First: I'm sorry, there was a typo while writing message. The correct subnets are 10.10.101.0/24 and 10.10.100.0/24, not 10.10.100.101/24 and 10.10.100.100/24. The solution is: # ip rule add dev lo table Servers as Pascal Hambourg <pascal.mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> advised, I'll quote: > > So, the question is: how does the routing of packets comming from > > localhost is being accomplished? > > In the same way as the routing of forwarded packets. From "ip rule" > point of view, locally generated traffic is selected with "iif lo" (see > iproute manual). Be aware that when the local source address is not > explicitly specified by the sending application, none of your custom > rules will match, so the "main" table will be used. But it contains no > default route. В Птн, 18/08/2006 в 14:31 +0300, Покотиленко Костик пишет: > Hi. > > The task: > > 1.
