[gentoo-user] Where to put policy routing

[Konstantinos Agouros]

Hello,

I have a firewall setup where I do need policy routing since I have two
default routers (one for mail and one for websurfing). I could put the ip 
rules commands in local.start but I guess the right place would be 
conf.d/net. So what's the 'official' way of doing this?

Regards,

Konstantin

I hope someone will correct me, but from what I could tell by reading 
the /etc/init.d/net.lo (and referenced files) there's no support for 
multiple routing tables in there.

So, I do my source-based routing in local.start, and you'll probably have 
to keep doing your policy routing there as well.

Look at the example postup() function in /etc/conf.d/net.example.

Thanks! This was what I was looking for!
