Sorry for bothering you, though. I don't feel bothered at all. Your letter could make an impression there is a lack of help and google not working, but it's not always true. So, sometimes people probably wait to see, they will only help and not do all your work. > When I disabled the support it worked just fine (no need for iptables > CONNMARK trickery or any of Julian's patches), so thanks for your help! Without this there is a possibility the route could be changed during connection. > Anyway, it strikes me as a bit odd that this feature is found under > CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER when it doesn't work for routers. That > could at least be better documented - here's a patch to do just that. Maybe it's intended for something even more advanced, I don't know. I checked this long time ago and later seen someone was trying to fix something around this - so I don't know what is the current state. But you are right - this should be better documented.
