If your aim is to distribute the outbound load across multiple IP addresses for the purposes of fooling Yahoo into believing you're multiple different mail servers (ie, mail doesn't *have* to be in .2 and out .2, it can be in .2 and out .57) then you can do some nasty hacky workarounds in iptables... Something along the lines of.... iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 25 -o eth0 -m statistic --mode nth --every 200 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.1 iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 25 -o eth0 -m statistic --mode nth --every 200 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.2 iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 25 -o eth0 -m statistic --mode nth --every 200 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.3 iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 25 -o eth0 -m statistic --mode nth --every 200 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.4 iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 25 -o eth0 -m statistic --mode nth --every 200 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.5 iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 25 -o eth0 -m statistic --mode nth --every 200 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.6 <etc> <etc> <etc> iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 25 -o eth0 -m statistic --mode nth --every 200 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.199 iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 25 -o eth0 -m statistic --mode nth --every 200 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.10.200 1) I'm assuming all these IP addresses are on the one interface (eth0) 2) Replace the '--every 200' with the total number of IP addresses you have for outgoing mail. This is untested so it's at your own risk, but I believe it should work.
