Well, the only route we're interested in is the following (see
Documentation/networking/tproxy.txt for the details):

ip route add local 0.0.0.0/0 dev lo table 100

Adding a unicast route is not really an option, so I'd say the only
workaround is modifying rules to include the ingress device names.
