That is, use multiple primary addresses: ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth0 ip addr add 192.168.2.1/24 dev eth0 ip addr add 192.168.3.1/24 dev eth0 The system determines the correct broadcast address to use based on the source address. With correct primary CIDR addresses, you don't need to specify the broadcast address at all. Or does this make your routing impossible to achieve? -- 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
