WHY ???? julian u wrote in ur mail about adding >>>ip rule add prio 5 ta main & i also saw it in the docs too but i couldnt understand the importance.. more so coz there was no routing attached to this prio.. will the default route of ta main(32766) be carried to table main (prio 5) ??.. can u please tell me more about it ?... awaitng a reply thanking u in advance A.H Julian Anastasov wrote: > Hello, > > On Mon, 19 Aug 2002, Arindam Haldar wrote: > > >>& applied julian's patch to kernel 2.4.19 & have gone thru the docs at >>the site... i have defined basically 3 groups for clients--> cache, >>cisco, balance.. the name specifies the importance.. this is the details >>of what i did--> > > > Carefully analyze the docs... > > >>[root@Lr1 root]# ip rule ls >>0: from all lookup local > > > # direct communications are first priority > ip rule add prio 5 table main > _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
