Hi All, I have the following topology with four linux(RH7.2 upgraded to 2.4.19, patched with IPROUTE2 and IPTABLES ) routers. A----B-----C | | +..E0(D)E1.+ In this I want to send some traffic from interface E0 of router D to interface E1 of same router via route ABC. How can I do this? I know that for a local address routing mechanism will loopback the packet. Is there anyway to overcome this behavior of routing mechanism for on local address(E1).
