Hello

Has anybody tried it? I think it is a bug but I don't know where.
Perhaps the mistake is in the routing decision (or in the userspace 
application). iptables trace shows the packages in the filter/input table.
Perhaps socket lookout?

Please can somebody try the following example and confirm it:

sudo ip route add local 192.168.56.0/24 dev eth0 table local
ping 192.168.56.1
## *succeed*

sudo ip route add local 192.168.57.0/24 dev eth0 table main
ping 192.168.57.1
## connect: Invalid argument

Thanks

Markus
