Hey all im trying to mark packets and use the kernel routing table to get the packets to go where i want. The problem that i have with this is that even though the packets are being marked (I checked using "iptables -t mangle -vnL") it doesnt seem to be going through the correct route. I;ve followed this guide : http://edseek.com/archives/2006/05/01/configuring-multipath-routing-for-ports-without-balancing/ but all traffic goes through the default route and not the marked one. # ip rule gives: 0: from all lookup local 200: from all fwmark 0x4 lookup 201 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default # ip route show table 201 default via 192.168.77.2 dev eth3 the iptables command i use to mark is: # iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -m string --algo bm --string "yahoo.com" -j MARK --set-mark 0x4 i've also flushed the route cache,....any help? Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
