from man route
gw Gw Any IP packets for the target network/host will be
routed through the specified gateway. NOTE: The
specified gateway must be reachable first. This
usually means that you have to set up a static
route to the gateway beforehand. If you specify the
address of one of your local interfaces, it will be
used to decide about the interface to which the
packets should be routed to. This is a BSDism com-
patibility hack.
how about `/sbin/route add -host 139.130.45.83 gw 203.41.215.171`.
Maybe you can force packets out one of your 203.41.215.160/27 ips this
way. I'm not really sure but perhaps it's worth trying.
