on a routing gateway; a destination MAC match is irrelevant, as the
destination MAC will always be that of the local machine (this pretty
much applies to a standalone host as well).
destination MAC addresses are only really relevant to switches...
anyways--i'm guessing you're probably trying to setup some sort of
bridge--in which case, you need "ebtables" which is available at:
http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/
and can match on destination MAC address.
my other guess would be maybe you're looking to match
broadcasts/multicasts, in which case--the pkttype match may be of some
interest to you.
