That means your kernel or/AND iptables doesnt have the ROUTE target compiled and ready for use.
Try the command: iptables -j ROUTE --help
If ROUTE target is compiled, you should see something like this:
ROUTE target v1.8 options:
--oif ifname Route the packet through `ifname' network interface
--iif ifname Change the packet's incoming interface to `ifname'
--gw ip Route the packet via this gateway
--continue Route the packet and continue traversing the
rules. Not valid with --iif.
on the end of the help message. If you see only the iptables help, that means ROUTE is really not compiled.
If that's the case, you'll need to get a patch-o-matic file, apply ROUTE patch on your kernel source, recompile and install the new kernel and probably recompile iptables also.
Sincerily, Leonardo Rodrigues

Subject: Target ROUTE
i need all my network trafic to any host on 995 port goes to another gateway then the default. So i execute the following iptables command:
iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 995 -j ROUTE --gw x.x.x.x
where x.x.x.x is my another gateway .
The problem when i execute the iptables command above is this: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
thanks a lot
