I remember now that I've read something regarding SSH & TOS field some days ago. If I'm right, it use the Minimum Delay TOS value.
Now, how am I suppose to deal with this TOS issue ? What TOS value should do the trick ? I'm using a 2.2 kernel with ipchains. > The reason for FTP breaking possibly has to do with packets for > the control connection going out the one gateway and for the data going > out the other... but this is speculation on my part. That sounds wise. However, routes are suppose to be cached using the src IP field as well (If I'm not mistaken), so that every packets coming from a particular IP are likely to take the same route than the others. Am I wrong ?
