1. The route with lower metric value has higher priority. 2. If two routes has the same metric value, then the first one encountered (when the table is traversed from top to bottom) is used. > 2. Which takes the precedence, iptables or routing table? Depends. If your iptables rules are POSTROUTING, then of course, routing table. ie, for output rules/NAT rules, the SNAT IP address is selected after determining the route of the packet (and hence, the outgoing interface). You cannot do SNAT in PREROUTING. > 3. Suppose I want 10 machine out of 40 to use ISDN (with nating ), is it > possible? How? You need to have policy routing configured. Read the documentation accompanying the iproute2 package.
