Hi,
 Thanks for ur suggetsion.
 But we are not clear about the sentece "re invent the loop".
 Can u give clear explanantion about the "iptables" solution.
 IMP: Our machine should not work like a router.I should be able to decide 
to which interface i want to redirect to , on the fly for each packet 
using a HASH like functions.

Thanks,
K.AnanthaKiran
