[LARTC] Trying the configuration in nano.txt

[Lluís Batlle]

Hi!

(I sent other mails some time ago, about not-using the Julian's patches).

When I try the configuration from Nano.txt, having the Julian's
patches applied, only the first 'hop' of the routing table "222" is
used (according to tables shown in Nano.txt).

I saw that this question was asked some time ago, with no answer.
Maybe someone can tell me the solution? The routing policy
rules/tables are the same, as I sent in my last email, but with this
table 222:
default  proto static 
        nexthop via 192.168.16.2  dev eth1 weight 1
        nexthop via 192.168.17.2  dev eth2 weight 1

Even trying lots of "ip route get x.x.x.x", always the first hop is chosen.

Everything is written according to Nano.txt (I think :).

Thanks!

UF. Sorry. I answered stupidly to your email. You replied about the
Julian's patches... I've sent a big amount of email, and not only
about a single configuration.

I don't know why, but now the patches work. I swear I haven't changed
anything in my configuration; simply, after rebooting, some minutes
without changing anything, everything worked. Strange, strange.

So, it works.

Thanks! - Wow, I've learnt a lot about netfilter and policy routing...
