[gentoo-user] {OT} A simple routing problem

[Nilesh Govindrajan]

Hi,

I'm stuck with a routing issue:

I have a DD-WRT router, which has one WAN port and four LAN ports with WiFi.

I have a fiber connection which is connected by dialing PPPoE using pppd
on the router, so I have no choice but to connect the fiber connection
on WAN port.

I have yet another (much slower) ADSL link, with it's own router (LAN-only).
I'm trying to connect the router to the DD-WRT router's LAN port.
I'm able to access the router, but routing through the gateway (the ADSL
router) fails.

Here's a simple diagram:

The LAN network I'm using on DDWRT is 192.168.0.0, which is the LAN
network for the internal side and WiFi.

The fiber connection is obviously public network.

The other ADSL connection can be configured to change subnet, it has a
LAN side and WAN side.

How I can I route through the ADSL router without requiring a separate
NIC/network for it?

what exactly are you trying to route? traffic out to the internet over
the ADSL? or just trying to connect the machines on that router to the
fiber line and route all traffic from both out on the fiber?

Actually my fiber connection has a smaller limit than the ADSL 
connection. I am trying to use the fiber connection for all activities 
except some torrent downloading for which I want to use my ADSL 
connection.
Once I'm able to route through the ADSL gateway, it would be easy for 
me to setup another ip on eth0 on my machine on which transmission 
could listen. All traffic on that ip would be routed through ADSL and 
otherwise the fiber.

well in that case if you know how to set it up so that the dd-wrt
router can see the ADSL gateway you can set a route on your box to
route traffic on a specific device to that gateway. In fact, you might
even be able to static route the torrent ports to that gateway from dd-wrt

I tried that.
As the simplest test, I added this on ddwrt:

route add -host 8.8.8.8 gw 192.168.0.32

Where 192.168.0.32 is the private IP of my ADSL router. But when I say 
ping 8.8.8.8 from ddwrt, I don't get any response.
Any idea why this happens?

is the ADSL configured to forward to the internet? how is the gateway
set up? it needs to be configured to route the outbound traffic to the
internet

Yes, I have a static IP on the ADSL connection and it is setup for the 
same. Connects using MER and NAT is enabled.
If I connect the router to DD-WRT's WAN port and change subnet of the 
ADSL private network (matching the same on WAN interface), then it 
works properly.

Most likely, it's just route caching. I forgot the exact command, but it
goes like 'ip route cache flush'.

Nilesh,

I read that you managed to fix it, but for completenes and, if applicable,
a different solution would be a router with 2 or more WAN-ports that can
do the routing for you.
Added benefit there would be that if the fiber connection dies, it would
be able to automatically route everything through the ADSL.

Yeah that solution is always there, but I'm not going for that since 
I'm evaluating the fiber connection (a new ISP in my locality). Won't 
need the ADSL may be after a month or so when I'll have unlimited plan 
on fiber.

@Pandu, or may be the DSL ISP was down yesterday when I was trying.

The problem is not exactly fixed yet, although I'm able to add static 
routes on the DDWRT router using route command (and it is working), 
there's no way to route all traffic from a source via the other router.
It doesn't have iptables ROUTE target neither iproute2 support.. is 
there some other method do to this using iptables?

The whole problem would be solved if I could add routes on my local 
machine, but that doesn't seem to work. It always goes via fiber which 
is the default route.

The final solution to this problem would be putting in a Linux machine 
there. I'm trying to build Gentoo for the Raspberry Pi which can be 
used for this task, but stuck at Python since it won't cross compile. 
Anyway that's another topic.

you actually can add routes on a local machine. the real trick would
be to have them pushed from the dd-wrt box so that they dont have to
be manually set each time

I'm presently ssh'ing into the DDWRT router and doing this:

route add -host <hostname> gw 192.168.0.32

and it's pretty much working, except that I've to add a route to every 
host for which I want to use the ADSL connection.

If I do the same on my local machine, it doesn't work and packets still 
end up going through my fiber connection.

Would iptables ROUTE target help if I use that on my local machine?

I think you want the forward chain, im not sure what tools dd-wrt and
iptables has for it as more of my experience is pf and pfsense, but
their should be a way to forward packets headed for certain ports or
networks to the ADSL gateway. just have the rule listen on the
internal interface and redirect certain traffic to the other gateway
