OK,
I finally figured out that my question boils down to this :
Can I tell kernel to make decisions as to which interface to send a
packet through, based on the source IP, and not based (only on)
destination IP ?
I.e. when a daemon on my machine accepts a connection, it came from,
say, address 1.2.3.4 on my eth1[1.1.1.1] interface. When it answers, it
sends a packet with source address of eth1[1.1.1.1].
BUT is still sends it through the default route instead through eth1 !
If I try to remove the default route, it says "network unreachable".
Is unix contrusted as so inflexibly, or is there a setup I can do to get
it to do what I need it to do ?
Thanx,
Jan
PS : it would be nice if one could override the routing by the information
that's specified by the ipchains' "-i iface" option ....
