Does Linux support indirect nexthops(gateways) in FIB ? "Indirect" means that fwd must perform recurseive lookups in order to get to nexthop which is connected to local link. When I try to add such a route with indirect nexthop I got error message. See below: >route -F Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 3.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 10.10.0.0 3.3.4.4 255.255.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 ... >route add -net 20.20.20.0/24 gw 3.3.4.4 <- this works ok. because 3.3.4.4 is connected to local link >route add -net 30.30.30.0/24 gw 10.10.10.10 SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable Note that 10.10.10.10 is known and unreachable.....
