port based routing for local generated connections

port based routing for local generated connections

[Jan Rathouský]

Hi everybody,
I'm looking for something that allows me routing based on destination
ports (for two OpenVPN tunnels).
First I found nice howto [1] but there is one problem – it works only
with LAN traffic and I want it for one computer with two ISPs. Because
router decision is done before writing marks for local generated
packets. So this howto is not for me :(
I was told that "iptables -j ROUTE" is what I'm looking for.
But I'm not able to compile POM with actual iptables version and my
Debian Squeeze kernel.
Than I found xtables-addon which is much more "fresh" than POM. But it
doesn't have support for ROUTE action.
Do you plan to add it to xtables-addon?
or
Do you know something else that can help me with this situation?

Thanks for answers and for your work.

Jan

PS: does anyone try to contact someone from netfilter team to add a
link to xtables-addon instead of POM? It's quite hard to find this
project.

It also applies to local traffic. The packet will be re-evaluated by 
routing if it changed its mark in the OUTPUT chain.

Nope, that is obsoleted by iproute2.

It doesn't work.

Same problem is with OpenVPN. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
