Hi all, I am new to Linux networking code and am trying out something new for my project. I'm basically trying to build a port based Load Balancer box. In short i maintain a table of ports and then forward whatever request i get to a server whose ip i know. But the problem is that i am unable to forward a packet with the source ip as the address of this machine. I have added code in ip_input.c to do this and do a ip_route_input after doing a dst_release. It is able to forward the packet if the source address is not changed. ( ip_forwarding is enabled and i have also run echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward). IP firewalling is also enable. However when i assign the source address as this machine it is not able to forward the packet. If anybody could guide me to a few resources or just give me a hack i would greatly appreciate it . Thanks. Arun. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
