[LARTC] Policy routing - tables not working

[LARTC] Policy routing - tables not working

[Gregory OSINAIKE]

Hello,

Simple question.

When i place a route in 'main' table packets are sent. When i place the
same route in my table and make a rule to look up this table when
packets match rule, the packets are not sent ('network unreachable').

The rule mathces packets with fwmark 1
(ip rule fwmark 1 table mail)

table mail has a route to subnet 50/8 via 30.0.0.1
(ip route add 50/8 via 30.0.0.1)

Have checked and packets are being marked correctly.

Have tried policy rouign with source address and still did not work.

Using linux -2.3.99-pre7

Have set up /etc/iproute2/rt_tables file


Any help would be appreciated.

Greg.

Show your exact commandlines, your setup is not entirely clear to me.
