Hi,
I have a situation like this:
1 external ip from my ISP
1 tunnel set up with http://www.virt-ix.net/ (check website about info about understanding this problem please)
Over tunnel this i have a netblock to my home network. What i want is this: the traffic comming from the tunnel to my netblock should be going back over the same tunnel(interface). How can i manage that? When ping tunnel from outside the internet. It gets answerd back over my normal external IP of my ISP(it doesnt answer because my ISP wont allow source routing) but it should go back over the tunnel. So i wont get any echo reply on ping. I checked with tcpdump. How can i get it routed back over tunnel? To connect to tunnel from the internet. I tried a lot of stuff. I've be able to only use traffic over the tunnel(with some tricky route and ip work) from outside but then i loose the default gw from my isp and also my normale internet connection. I just want to use my isp for normale internet(clients in my lan 192.168.1.0/25) usage and the tunnel for my netblock(external). My tunnel ip is 195.149.88.37 and my netblock is 193.17.225.208/29 and the netblocks of whole virt-ix are 195.149.88.0/24 and 193.17.225.0/24. The whole system is basicly to play with BGP I have got that working. But now i just need the tunnel ip reachable and the netblock ;)
my external ISP ip: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:20:8F:0F:F9 inet addr:84.25.67.53 Bcast:84.25.67.255 Mask:255.255.254.0
my external virt-ix TUNNEL ip:
tap0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:FF:A0:F6:67:7E
inet addr:195.149.88.37 Bcast:195.149.88.255 Mask:255.255.255.192
Thanks in advance,
