Subject: Funny Routing change since 2.6.16.x
Dear network gurus,
I used to change the source address on an PPPoE connection by using
these commands:
/sbin/ifconfig ppp0:1 $SRCADDR
/sbin/ip route add default dev ppp0 src $SRCADDR
where SRCADDR is an address in a different network
than the local and peer address for ppp0.
That works fine until Linux 2.6.13.1.
When I use Kernel 2.6.16.32, 2.6.19.2 or 2.6.19.3
this stops working.
Funnily it WORKS, when the machine just has to answer.
It DOESN'T work, when the machine initiates an connection.
I verified that on the receiving side of a ping with tcpdump.
I also verified that "ip route get $OTHER_HOST" would use the route
with src address set to "SRCADDR" from above.
I tried using a default route like "ip route add default via $GATEWAY src $SRCADDR",
but that doesn't work either.
I attached the config for the old working kernel and the 2.6.19.3 config
for reference.
We noticed no problems with ethernet alias interfaces.
The (production) machine is a PC doing SNAT, DNAT, MASQUERADE
and iptables based stateful inspection firewalling. Policy routing is
compiled in, but not used at all.
If you need the iptables rules anyway, just tell me.
Many thanks and best Regards
Ingo Oeser
