I tried to do this with ipfilter, but never managed to get it working. Lately I found a packaged called brouted which should do source-based routing. Still have to check and try it. Let me hear when you succeed succesfully! -----Original Message----- From: Blake Crosby [mailto:dev@samurai.com] Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 6:31 AM To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: Source Based Routing I'm sorry if this is off topic, nor is directed at the wrong list. I have cable and DSL. I want to use cable for most of my traffic, as it is cheaper. But I want to use DSL for incoming SMTP connections, because DSL provider allows me to run an SMTP server (cable provider forbids it) and gives me a permanent IP. I don't want to have to use someone else's mail server as a gateway to mine. The cable provider will not let me send packets back to the Internet with the source address of my DSL IP. This causes a problem when a remote site tries to connect to DSL IP port 25, but the reply packets get sent out the default route of cable. How can I make packets for a TCP connection from the DSL IP, go out the DSL interface, no matter what the IP of the other end of the TCP connection is? There used to a be a FreeBSD port called brouted which I think might let me do it, but I can't find it anywhere now (apparently it had security flaws).
