Are you saying that there is no way to > disable IP forwarding in a Linux box? No one said that. As we already explained, IP forwarding can be disabled globally or per interface. "IP routing" may have different meanings. It can be a synonym for "IP forwarding", like in "IP routers do IP routing". But in the context of the Linux IP stack, it rather means the handling of an IP packet according to the routing table. In short : - for an incoming packet, determine whether it is for local delivery or to be forwarded ; - for an outgoing or forwarded packet, determine the output interface and gateway. -- 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
