There are other reasons for wanting to use multiple routing tables. I have seen some routing conundrums that could only be solved with them. Such problems usually involve multiple network cards, and multiple viable paths to the same host, where the kernel by default makes the wrong choice and you have to step in and force it to do the right thing
Yep, I have a number of servers in just such a setup - each server has two possible outbound paths, but the kernel cannot know which one is actually available, so I control that manually (scripted). (three options: left is up, right is up, both are up). The other place where I use a 2nd routing table is on my firewall to enable transparent proxying of http traffic. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
