Ok, let me see if I have this straight.
You have a ISDN line.
You have a T1 line.
These both come into the same box, ie each is a seperate interface on the
box. Correct?
You wish all traffic to come over the T1 except some CVS stuff, which
should come over the ISDN.
Hmmm. I would think DNS would take care of this, the CVS server should
resolve to the IP of the ISDN interface. You should be seeing only
incoming connections for CVS, so your default gateway shouldn't matter. I
must be wrong about the way TCP works in that case, I thought it followed
the route established on connection. Ah! I suppose your box is doing the
right thing and telling the remote box about a better route for the
connection (ICMP redirect).
I would say looking at trafficshaper would be what you're after, you need
to be able to direct traffic based on the port involved.
