I would not even bother with this ancient method of policy routing. Nowadays, MARK is used together with iproute2 to select output routes. (*) The reason it does not display an error is deeper design problem in iptables. Reason being that it cannot tell beforehand if ROUTE is a chain or an actual target, and as such, failure to load a target extension is considered normal until the tables are actually going to be committed. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
