Hi Im still in a state of uncertainty on this question, as I have not performed routing with -j ROUTE before, but getting a glimpse of ROUTE did make me wonder about effiency / speed. So my question is. Would anyone know if there is a difference or which is the faster of just routing via just using -j ROUTE --oif as opposed to a) marking the packets (-j MARK --set-mark 0x1) and then b) using FORWARD. Kind Regards Brent Clark
