Er, shouldn't this work by default? It is the netmask thing, right?

Because what I think you are trying to do is:
Whatever goes to 192.168.1.*, send it to the machine at 192.168.1.1, it
will know. But the problem IMO is, this machine is local, so it again
runs the packet trough the table and sends it to itself…

Did you try removing the routing rule? I guess it should work by itself
and you needed it only if there was a machine somewhere, like 10.0.0.1
that would be reachable trough 192.168.1.15…

But I'm not sure, I hope I do not talk complete jebrish.
