	Same route for 58.185.117.28 2nd time? Is that possible?:

	The ip_rt_bug messages show that skb->dev is
NULL (OUTPUT hook), daddr in IP header is local address,
may be some original received packet. If such packet is
provided to ip_route_me_harder(skb, RTN_UNSPEC) an
ip_route_input call can happen. Calling later dst_output
should lead to this warning. The question is what can
cause received packet to appear in OUTPUT hook where
a change in mark or TOS can can trigger such ip_route_input
call. What kind of netfilter modules are used? nf_queue,
-j REJECT, NAT? Is 124.121.155.197 a local address?
