Policy-routing of locally originated traffic?

Policy-routing of locally originated traffic?

[Dyadya Skrudzh]

Hello.

Short version: Is it possible?

Long question: read on!

I'm trying to do some weird thing, here. There's dynamips running on my 
F11 box
(kernel 2.6.30.10-105.fc11.i586) emulating Cisco 7200 router with two 
FastEthernets.

Interfaces are connected as:

f0/0 is attached to tap10 on Linux
f0/1 is attached to tap20 on Linux

IP addresses are:

tap10: 10.10.0.1/16
f0/0: 10.10.0.2/16
f0/1: 10.20.0.2/16
tap20: 10.20.0.1/16

Policy routing configured as:

[root@lab ~]# ip rule
0:      from all lookup local
32764:  from 10.20.0.1 to 10.10.0.0/16 lookup tap20
32765:  from 10.10.0.1 to 10.20.0.0/16 lookup tap10
32766:  from all lookup main
32767:  from all lookup default

[root@lab ~]# ip route show table tap10
default via 10.10.0.2 dev tap10

[root@lab ~]# ip route show table tap20
default via 10.20.0.2 dev tap20

Interfaces, Linux:

[root@lab ~]# ip addr show dev tap10
7: tap10: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast 
state UNKNOWN qlen 500
    link/ether 00:50:56:a7:5d:07 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.10.0.1/16 brd 10.10.255.255 scope global tap10
    inet6 fe80::250:56ff:fea7:5d07/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

[root@lab ~]# ip addr show dev tap20
8: tap20: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast 
state UNKNOWN qlen 500
    link/ether 00:50:56:b7:5b:b2 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.20.0.1/16 brd 10.20.255.255 scope global tap20
    inet6 fe80::250:56ff:feb7:5bb2/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Interfaces, Cisco:

interface FastEthernet0/0
 ip address 10.10.0.2 255.255.0.0
 no ip proxy-arp
!
interface FastEthernet0/1
 ip address 10.20.0.2 255.255.0.0
 no ip proxy-arp

Here's the results I got:

[ next hop, OK ]

route is local ]

Is there any way I can make it work?

Thank you,
