So far I haven't planned this, slide #11 describes that if I add an address with a given mark the corresponding route will only apply to packets with a matching mark. Slide #5 shows the idea of an ingress classifier/action setting the mark field based on iif. I focus on selecting routes based on marks, not the other way around but its certainly a intersting idea if you can elaborate it further. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
