-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, : 1) when I add custom rules like : #ip rule add from $BOX_B_ETH1 lookup 3 : it does not take effect for at least 1 minute, perhaps 2-3. : : Why is that? It's quite simple. There is a routing cache. Recently used routes are stored here for faster access. If you would like to empty the routing cache, then you must make your changes to the routing tables and then empty the routing cache: ip route flush cache Be very careful not to omit the word "cache". You will have a nice little surprise if you forget the word "cache". : This is confusing, since it makes one think that the rule does : not work, while in reality it just has not taken effect. If you'd like to view the route cache: ip route show cache Do you want to see a particular entry? ip route show cache 72.14.203.104 - -Martin - -- Martin A.
