Please forgive me if this seems like a foolish enquiry but I can''t get my iproute2 to work. Here''s my ip tables #ip rule ls 0: from all lookup local 32765: from all iif eth0 lookup pixforward2 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default #ip route ls table pixforward2 default via 212.74.13.1 dev eth1 proto static #ip route ls table main 212.74.13.0/30 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 212.74.13.2 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.0/24 dev ipsec0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.2 192.168.200.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.200.2 default via 212.74.13.1 dev eth1 What I''m trying to do is get packets appearing on eth0 to default to 212.74.13.1 and other traffic to default to 192.168.1.1. I want to do this by changing the default route on the main table to 192.168.1.1. The problem is that when I remove the default via 212.74.13.1 line from the main table, nothing gets routed to the outside world anymore. I thought packets would come in from eth0 leap to the pixforward2 table and then out onto the internet, but no. I think I know that the packets are hitting the pixforward2 table, because if I change its route to nonsense everything stops working. So do the packets appear to choose the right table initially and then go to the wrong table for actual routing? This is even more frustrating because I did get this to work at one point. When I went to add the changes permenatly to a script, I couldn''t replicate it. Thanks for any help you can offer, Chris.
