Subject: how udp source address gets selected when default gateway is
 configured with multipath-routing

Hi,

I have a simple multipath-routing setup,

default
        nexthop via 192.168.15.1 dev enp4s0 weight 1
        nexthop via 10.0.1.1 dev wlp2s0 weight 1
10.0.1.0/24 dev wlp2s0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.1.251
10.0.3.0/24 dev wlp0s29u1u2 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.3.1
10.3.1.0/24 dev wg9000 proto kernel scope link src 10.3.1.2
192.168.0.0/16 dev enp4s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.15.251

here enp4s0 (192.168.0.0/16) and wlp2s0 (10.0.1.0/24) are connected to
two different ISPs.

DNS works fine when I access internet through my internal subnet
(10.0.3.0/24), but  when I try 'ping google.com' in this machine, the
DNS request to 1.1.1.1 (which is my nameserver in resolv.conf) to
resolve 'google.com' is sent through enp4s0 interface but the source
address in that DNS request contains 10.0.1.251 (wlp2s0's local ip
address).

If I have single nexthop in default route, everything works fine.

How can I make sure that kernel picks the correct source ip for the dns request?

Thanks,
Mohan R
