I've been looking at various configurations of iptables, and I don't have a 
clear idea on how to do the following:

I have an application that sends UDP packets, and I would force the out bound 
packets to be sent via a specific interface.

For example, I have a satellite link for the out going packets, but a ground 
link for the return packets.

I have a program which works with a single link, and I'd like to have that 
program unaware that the stream is being split in the kernel.

I have seen mention of a 'tee' feature for iptable filtering, but that's not 
quite what I want… since there is no need to duplicate the stream and send it 
two different ways.

The problem I have is thinking about such things as how 'arp' works, and that 
if the satellite link sends an 'arp request', that interface will expect an 
'arp-response', but that will be returned via the ground link path…

Somewhere in my memory, I recall this sort of setup for remote locations that 
had a satellite down link, and a slow modem access for 'up link'.

Any help would be appreciated.

John Clark.
