Is NAT involved here? I have a similar problem where a GRE connection goes out the wrong interface as the gateway starts up, getting a NAT association in ip_conntrack and the NAT never goes away after the correct interface and route come up. I think you need to get rid of the /proc/net/ip_conntrack entry but there is no mechanism to do this. -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
