Hi all,

is it possible to route to deferent gateways depend on the protocol (Eg:SMTP)
using Linux routing tabes or iptabels, if so does any one know how to do
it ?

With respect to routing tables, the answer is a definite no. Routing tables operate only at the IP-address level (network layer), and protocols are the next level up (transport layer -- TCP or UDP).


With respect to iptables ... I cannot immediately think of a way to do this, but iptables offers an awful lot of flexibility, so I would not rule out some tricky solution, especially in a context where the gateways are NATing routers. But I have nothing specific to suggest.


thanks
Kev
