} Is it possible to have a route stick in the kernel, even if device it } points to } goes to roller coaster up and down drive. } } For example. I have an ADSL modem and am doing VPN over it. There's a } route } needed for VPN added like this: } } ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 1.2.3.4 src 192.168.2.1 } } There are two problems with it: } } a) if ADSL link is down when above command is executed, the route command } will } fail (ppp0 is down, so there's no 1.2.3.4) } } b) if ADSL link is up when above command is executed, but it goes down } (and up } again) later, the route is removed from kernel routing tables } } Thanks, } Aleksandar Milivojevic
