Do you have a routing table entry for net 10.30.3.x?
This doesn't look like a bug to me.
What do the rule counters say?
What about tcpdump?

IT WORKS!!!


adding routing table entries for remote nets now redirect works!

Since I could reach remote hosts WITHOUT routing entries...
why does the kernel need it???


This is just a guess, since I haven't tried it, but here it goes...
In your configuration without a direct route to 10.30.3.x:
When you ping from the bridge, the packet is sent to your default gateway and then to the host.


No.... I traced it ...
it goes directly to the host.

Bridge finds out (at first time 10.30.3.x sends a packet out to internet) where the host is and which gateway to use (actually I was really impressed how well the birdge works)


It was just curiosity.... since it works ... it's fine with me


thanks again

gianluca




When the 10.30.3.x host sends a packet that is redirected on the bridge, the bridge wants to reply directly to the 10.30.3.x host and doesn't have a direct route, so the bridge drops the packet.

cheers,
Bart
