I tried to change routes but it does not work. Packets are sent > through the loopback interface instead .. The kernel knows the addresses of the machine's local interfaces. When it sees that a packet is destined for a local interface, it simply puts the packet on the local loopback interface's input queue. There's no reason to bother the NIC with a packet that's has no place on the wire. That's the rationale. It *might* be possible to do this with netfilter, but I can easily imagine it not working for you. What's your goal, anyway?
