Hmmm... I recently had a need to test one of the "standard" Netfilter
modules, just to find out it wasn't part of any CentOS kernels (base
or centosplus). If it is possible, could you add ROUTE module? Not
sure if this is standard part of kernel source, or patch-o-matic(-ng)
is needed. The userland iptables might also need to be rebuilt and
placed into centosplus.
Anyhow, it would be nice to have support for all "standard"
targets/extensions that are documented in "man iptables". If it is
not too much trouble to include them. ROUTE is one of them. I see
couple of others that might be usefull to have (not that I currently
have need for all of them) such as BALANCE, CLASTERIP, CONNMARK (it
would simplify some stuff I'm doing), NOTRACK, ROUTE... Probably some
others. Userland iptables already includes some of them, but not all,
so it would also need to be included into centosplus.
