Hi list I tried at suggestion of: gate:/usr/src# iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 80 -j ROUTE --oif eth2 But all i get is: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name During this time I have been googling and trying to find out why this is failing. The reason I cant undertand is that I am running debian sarge so therefore the iptables version is v1.3.1 I looked for the module ROUTE and it defiantly if there. ROUTE target v1.11 options: --oif ifname Route packet through `ifname' network interface --iif ifname Change packet's incoming interface to `ifname' --gw ip Route packet via this gateway `ip' --continue Route packet and continue traversing the rules. Not valid with --iif or --tee. --tee Duplicate packet, route the duplicate, continue traversing with original packet. Not valid with --iif or --continue. So on looking at the kernel src I worked out that I had not added or complied in multipath, I have now gate:/usr/src/linux# cat .config | grep ROUTE CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER=y CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_FWMARK=y CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH=y CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_VERBOSE=y and too this day I still am getting gate:/usr/src/linux# iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -p tcp --dport 80 -j ROUTE --oif eth2 iptables: No chain/target/match by that name gate:/usr/src/linux# If anyone can help in anyway, I would be most greatful. Kind Regards, and again thanks in advance. Brent Clark
