`nexthop` at "ip route" command.

Hi -

I have a router with two interfaces, each one to a different carrier. At 
the router, my default gateway is to carrier #1. Well, the router is 
connected directly to a Linux firewall box and I need, depending on  the 
source information of a packet, to route the packet to carrier #2.

I think that I can use the 'ip rule' and 'ip route' commands. As the 
firewall default gateway is the router box, I think that I could set the 
'nexthop' parameter at the 'ip route' command to do the correct output 
interface routing when the packet arrives the router, using a command 
like this:

ip route add default via *router-ip* nexthop via *router-device-2-ip*

But I get the following error:

*RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument*

What this could be?

Thanks,

Eduardo
