Im still working at getting traceroutes from any direction to reply from the same IP, would prefer it be the loopback that is used for OSPF router IDs too. There are two reasons, one is to conserver our ARIN allocation and to not have our internal IP space visible to customers (we are using 172. stuff)
with mangle in the prerouting chain I can identify it by looking at ttl of 1. I can set the action to increment by one and get it to forward up to the next hop so the response of that and the second look duplicated. Ive tried marking the packet and setting the gateway to the loopback ip, but it doesnt seem to work, depending on what i do it either continues to go to the next hop or it just kills the traceroute. Im wondering if its got to do with the loopback being /32 or if its that im stupid, probably a little of both. Where is butch at? -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
