Indeed.
Here is an example:
hdsl| |adsl
line| |line
| |
+------+
| |
|SQUID |
| |
+------+
|
internal|
lan |
The linux default gateway point to the hdsl
router. I want to redirect the squid http
traffic (running on the same host) to the adsl
line. So I create a routing table (adsl table)
and I put a default route to the adsl router.
I mark the http traffic. I insert a rule
based on fwmark which select the 'adsl table'.
So far, so good. But, squid will select the
source ip address from the hdsl network class,
because it is the default gateway.
Then, the local generated packets must be SNATed
with the adsl ip.
Is it clear?
