Re: Advanced routing option

I'm using FreeBSD and Monowall in the most of my servers.

One limit I'm facing on both is the lack of an advanced routing feature.

Would be too complicated to modify "route" sources (and probably kernel tables) implementing a FROM parameter in ADD command?

route add 0.0.0.0/0 210.10.10.1
route add FROM 200.1.1.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 210.10.10.10
route add FROM 200.1.2.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 210.10.11.11

A FROM option would improve a lot routing capabilities and handling of multiple WAN connections.

Any comment?

If you wish to do this type of policy routing you need to use one of the firewalls as it can't be done in the routing table. PF can do this easily with its route-to option.
