Greetings:
I''m running kernel 2.2.17 and I''ve been trying to add a rule
which looks up
table main based on a single destination address. Here it is:
>ip rule add from 0.0.0.0/0 to 192.168.107.28 lookup main prio 110
The rule adds fine however it seems that the kernel fails to match the
destination condition.
Incidentally 192.168.107.28 is the local address of an interface on
the box where I''m adding the rule. The machine I''m testing
from is
on the same physical network and has address 192.168.107.27. I''m using
ping to test.
With the above rule in place, and a blackhole rule immediately following
it. I can''t ping 192.168.107.28 from .27. However if I change the rule
above to read:
>ip rule add from 0.0.0.0/0 to 192.168.107.0/24 lookup main prio 110
then I can ping fine. Thinking that I might be required to specify a mask,
I even tried the following version:
>ip rule add from 0.0.0.0/0 to 192.168.107.28/32 lookup main prio 110
No luck. Does any one know what''s going on?
