Oh, I see. I don't think that's possible at the routing level. That 
sounds like a job for a load balancer but I'm not a technical guy and 
routing isn't my strong suit. I'm really much better at filter rules, 
logging, and sarcasm.  ;-)

I also see similar questions on multiple lists. I often have to check 
the mail header to see what list they're posting to so I know the 
context of the question. On a similar vein, does netfilter have any 
mailing list usage guidelines posted anywhere? I looked around the other 
day and couldn't find any. I've seen some sites with a link to 
guidelines and etiquette on the list subscription page. Something like 
that might be useful for this list.
