Hi,
There is an "anti-spoofing" issue that you haven''t
mentioned and may
well have to contend with. Some Linux distro''s, certainly Redhat, when
installed with default settings will engage the anti-spoofing mechnism.
This prevents any interface from being used as a default route other
than the one declared in the routing table called "main".
You need to "echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth3/rp_filter" to
turn
off the anti-spoofing for that interface.
Using iptables you can manually put back some of the anti-spoofing
mechanism. See "Rusty Russell''s unreliable guide to iptables"
Regards Mike.
