I don't think it will work. The router will send out an arp-request for the
directed IP MAC. Of course, no-one will answer and the router will not
forward the packet. I just tried and I got an incomplete arp entry and
output from debug ip packet looks like:
1w5d: IP: s=192.168.168.29 (local), d=4.2.2.2 (Ethernet0), len 100, sending
1w5d: IP: s=192.168.168.29 (local), d=4.2.2.2 (Ethernet0), len 100,
encapsulation failed.
1w5d: IP: s=192.168.168.29 (local), d=4.2.2.2 (Ethernet0), len 100, sending
1w5d: IP: s=192.168.168.29 (local), d=4.2.2.2 (Ethernet0), len 100,
encapsulation failed.
1w5d: IP: s=192.168.168.29 (local), d=4.2.2.2 (Ethernet0), len 100, sending
1w5d: IP: s=192.168.168.29 (local), d=4.2.2.2 (Ethernet0), len 100,
encapsulation failed.
Here's the route I added:
ip route 4.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 192.168.168.255
The ethernet interface is using a 24 bit mask. I think that although the
router will accept it, it doesn't work.
