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? -- Nilesh Govindarajan http://nileshgr.com
