more on forcing traffic to route to local interface though another interface.

[Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been adding printk's to the linux routing code to try to figure
out how things are working...

It appears that at least one of the reasons why what I want to do will
not work is that this code in route.c:

        /*
         *      Now we are ready to route packet.
         */
        if ((err = fib_lookup(&key, &res)) != 0) {
                if (!IN_DEV_FORWARD(in_dev))
                        goto e_inval;
                goto no_route;
        }

returns a 'res' that has the res.type == RTN_LOCAL.


So, does anyone know what part of the code populates
the fib tables?  I need to convince that code to never (or rarely)
use any RTN_LOCAL type, at least for certain interfaces and/or sockets.


Other ideas are welcome, of course!

Ben
