It's the case where the system is acting as a router, you have to consider that case and not just the one where the local system is where the connections are originating from. Your trick only works because of how routes are cached per-socket. Once you get into the realm of traffic going through the machine as a router, the trick stops to work. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
