The last question then is if there is a way to add "ip rule" rules to specify which routing table to use based on packet information. ex: ip rule add fwmark 3 table 3
Are any of the network scripts able to handle this as well?
If you look at the end of the same script (ifup-routes), you'll see that it reads rules from file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/rule-eth0. For each line in that file, it will run "/sbin/ip rule add $line". It's unfortunate that this isn't all better documented somewhere. But on Linux you can always... Use the source, Luke!
Really? I looked through ifup-routes but I don't see anything that searches for rule-<ifname> anywhere. All my ifup-routes looks for is files called route-$2. Further more a quick "grep rule /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*" finds nothing.
My last two lines in ifup-routes (unless I don't know how to read them properly) are: # Red Hat network configuration format NICK=${2:-$1} CONFIG="/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/$NICK.route" [ -f $CONFIG ] && handle_file $CONFIG $1
And if I look at handle_file method, I see all it does is call /sbin/ip route add $line.
Am I missing something obvious somewhere? Or do you have a different version of ifup-routes? I'm running CentOS4 with the latest patches....
Thanks again!
