I have a machine with two routes to the internet doing load balancing on the connections and NAT for internal machines. For inbound ssh connections and outbound connections to anything, it will occasionally "lose" packets. If I Control-C out of ssh and try again, it usually works, but not always. After a few tries it does connect, but frequently stalls and hangs permanently. I did add rules to try and keep connections stuck where they started: ip rule add from 200.200.200.1 table eth1 ip rule add from 192.168.0.2 table eth2 In /etc/iproute2/rt_tables: 201 eth1 202 eth2 ip rule list does show the rules: 0: from all lookup local 32764: from 192.168.0.2 lookup eth2 32765: from 200.200.200.1 lookup eth1 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default Is there some other command I can use to see if they really are sticking where they should?
