Marcus,

I needed to do something a bit crazy like this recently. I was wanting
to get packets to be re-transmitted to multiple interfaces.

I have found the ROUTE target module to be really great for this
purpose.  If you use the --tee option a duplicate of the packet is
create and routed in some manner that you select.

This would certainly be an option.

I was using a Fedora Code 5 box which unfortunately does not have the
ROUTE module patched into the kernel, but in this case patch-o-matic is
your friend.

For more details see:

-ROUTE

for more information.

Hope this helps,

Kelvin
