Hi,

The linux kernel seems to support 255 forwarding tables.
Is there any way to expand this?
For example, in order to support more than 255 Virtual Routers (e.g.
1000), with each router only having a few routes in it.

Is this a hard limit, or something I can change by modifying a define
statement in the kernel source?

you are refering to routing tables?  Then please contact
netdev@vger.kernel.org, since this is not related to netfilter
development.
