Can anybody help on this ? Yes. The ip routing tables also allow rule-selection based on fwmarks. This gives you all the power of netfilter for routing-rule-selection. So, given something like iptables -A INPUT -m mac --mac-source ab:cd:ef:01:23:45 -m mark --mark 45 ip rule add fwmark 45 table 45 Would let all packets coming from MAC ab:cd:ef:01:23:45 be routed according to the rules in routing table 45.
