That will give you more power to play around if you going for unusual stuffs. you need to remove that ppp1 address from the "table local" with "ip route del table local ... ..." options local "address B" dev ppp0 proto kernel scope host src "address B" > This does not do what I want.

I don't know how kernel will react to this :-( > How can I get Linux to do what I want (e.g. not to optimize the routing). read "Advance routing HOWTO" which explains about iproute2. -- Sumit - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
