LARTC - Jul 2003 - marking in OUTPUT --mangle; locally generated packets and route lookup - broken?

hello all,

i have come accross a curious issue:

+----------------------+            +---------------+
| eth1   192.168.1.1   |------------| 192.168.1.250 |
| eth1:1 192.168.1.101 |            |               |
+----------------------+            +---------------+


iptables --append OUTPUT --table mangle --jump MARK --set-mark 0x2
ip rule add fwmark 0x2 table 2
ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 src 192.168.1.101 table 2
ip route flush cache


telnet 192.168.1.250 ; and tcpdump gives src ip address as 192.168.1.1


ip rule add to 192.168.1.250 table 2
ip route flush cache


telnet 192.168.1.250 ; and tcpdump gives src ip address as 192.168.1.101



are there issues concerning the marking of OUTPUT packets generated on
the local box that i should be aware of?


many, many thanks

charles

I tested your setup and it works fine (with 2.5 though). Are you sure 
you have
CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_FWMARK enabled for your running kernel ? ip rule won''t
give
errors if not ..

Bye

Hi Patrick,

Sincere thanks for your time & help!

Yup -- sorry!

Trying this today ...


Kindest Regards
