Hi guys, I'm a pretty experienced Linux / network developer and administrator, but I can't get my head around this one. The long story is that I have a box used as router/fw/proxy running Debian Squeeze with a customized 2.6.32 x86_64 kernel having three interfaces (eth2,eth3,eth4) on the same external subnet. One of the interfaces is used for doing masquerading of other subnets. Masquerading (not snat) is chosen because the interfaces are on dhcp, and I don't want to have to rewrite the fw rules each time I get a new addr ... already have enough with dhclient-hooks for fixing the routing tables dns-updates, etc ;-) What I basically want to do is make the proxy's request to go out the same ifc as the masqueraded packets getting a src addr of s41.s42.s43.s44. Other locally generated packets should get a src addr s21.s22.s23.s24. To accomplish this I'm using iptables to mark all, to port 80, locally generated tcp packets: % iptables -t mangle -vnL OUTPUT Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 3234 packets, 2254K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 1114 181K MARK tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:80 MARK set 0x4 I have verified that the iptables rule marks them fine enough. Then the ip rule with prio 99 below should then catch them and route according to table eth4 below. That rule however does, for some reason not match those packets, instead they are routed according to table eth2 below (prio 200 rule), getting src addr s21.s22.s23.s24. If I disable that rule they are routed according the the prio 300 rule (getting src addr s31.s32.s33.s34). prompt% ip rule 0: from all lookup local 1: from all lookup main 99: from all fwmark 0x4 lookup eth4 100: from 10.116.254.0/26 lookup eth4 100: from 10.116.255.34 lookup eth3 100: from 10.116.255.64/26 lookup eth4 200: from all lookup eth2 300: from all lookup eth3 400: from all lookup eth4 32767: from all lookup default prompt% ip route show table eth2 broadcast b1.b2.b3.b4 dev eth2 scope link src s21.s22.s23.s24 broadcast n1.n2.n3.n4 dev eth2 scope link src s21.s22.s23.s24 n1.n2.n3.n4/m dev eth2 scope link src s21.s22.s23.s24 default via g1.g2.g3.g4 dev eth2 src s21.s22.s23.s24 prompt% ip route show table eth3 broadcast b1.b2.b3.b4 dev eth3 scope link src s31.s32.s33.s34 broadcast n1.n2.n3.n4 dev eth3 scope link src s31.s32.s33.s34 n1.n2.n3.n4/m dev eth3 scope link src s31.s32.s33.s34 default via g1.g2.g3.g4 dev eth3 src s31.s32.s33.s34 prompt% ip route show table eth4 broadcast b1.b2.b3.b4 dev eth4 scope link src s41.s42.s43.s44 broadcast n1.n2.n3.n4 dev eth4 scope link src s41.s42.s43.s44 n1.n2.n3.n4/m dev eth4 scope link src s41.s42.s43.s44 default via g1.g2.g3.g4 dev eth4 src s41.s42.s43.s44 What am I doing wrong here?
