ip_local_deliver

HI,

  can I call ip_local_deliver/ip_route_output from my kernel module, though
it is not exported in /usr/src/linux-2.4/netsyms.c, is there no way that i
can use it directly ?. Also, I see a problem with the linux kernel, any
packet that comes from user applications, even one whose dest_ip_addr ==
that of the local machine(the machine on which that application is
running), even then the packet goes out of the machine, i.e if i write one
such packet to ip using a raw socket,ip_local_deliver is not called for
that packet immediately, it first goes out of the ethernet interface and
then is caught again, why so ? why is it kept this way ?

thanks
Amit
