"Virtual" routing

Hello.

Is it possible to create different routing policies
for "virtual" (as opposed to a real NIC) interfaces?

I mean: be able to set up different rules for each of
the "dummy0", "dummy1" interfaces, and/or aliases to
the "lo" interface like "lo:0", "lo:1", etc.

[For example, I assigned a zone (called "priv") to a
subnet with address "192.168.67.0/24" to be accessed through
the "dummy0" interface but e.g. ACCEPTing ssh traffic to
"priv" doesn''t work: the firewall REJECTs the connection.]

Does my expectation make any sense?

Thanks and best regards,
Gilles
