Hi,
I think I found a problem in iproute or ubuntu kernel. I think that the "ip route get" returns wrong interface and gateway in an multipath routing environment on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
I reported it also to launchpad as a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iproute/+bug/105521
The easiest way to reproduce it is to start an Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Live on a system with three IF's and setup the environment as follows:
root@ubuntu:~# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 up
root@ubuntu:~# ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 up
root@ubuntu:~# ifconfig eth2 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 up
root@ubuntu:~# ip route add default nexthop via 192.168.1.254 dev eth1 weight 1 nexthop via 192.168.2.254 dev eth2 weight 1
root@ubuntu:~# ip rule add prio 111 from 192.168.1.1 table 111
root@ubuntu:~# ip rule add prio 222 from 192.168.2.1 table 222
root@ubuntu:~# ip route add default table 111 via 192.168.1.254
root@ubuntu:~# ip route add default table 222 via 192.168.2.254
root@ubuntu:~# ip route ls
192.168.2.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.2.1
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.1
192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1
default
nexthop via 192.168.1.254 dev eth1 weight 1
nexthop via 192.168.2.254 dev eth2 weight 1
root@ubuntu:~# ip rule ls

222: from 192.168.2.1 lookup 222

root@ubuntu:~# ip route ls table 111

root@ubuntu:~# ip route ls table 222

root@ubuntu:~# ip -V

root@ubuntu:~# ip route get 1.2.3.1
1.2.3.1 via 192.168.2.254 dev eth2 src 192.168.1.1
cache mtu 1500 advmss 1460 hoplimit 64
root@ubuntu:~# ip route get 1.2.3.2
1.2.3.2 via 192.168.2.254 dev eth2 src 192.168.2.1
cache mtu 1500 advmss 1460 hoplimit 64
As you can see, the "ip route get" always returns ".. via 192.168.2.254 dev eth2 ..." and only switches the source ip but not the corresponding interface and gateway. I saw this behaviour a long time ago on Debian, but by now, on Debian Woody this is working fine as least on kernel 2.6.14 and 2.6.16 with the same iproute package and the "ip route get" output also gives the right interface and gateway ( I did not test it on more environments ). On an installed Ubuntu 6.06 LTS the behaviour is also wrong ( I found this problem on a 2.6.15-28-server kernel with the same iproute package ).
¿ Any idea why this is happening ? ¿ Is this a regression ? ¿ Any suggestions ?
Kind Regards,
Eric Janz--
