Using kernel 2.4.20.

I have a netfilter gateway with 2 external ip
eth0: 1.1.1.1 (gw: 1.1.1.254)
eth1: 2.2.2.2 (gw: 2.2.2.254)

It has default route like this

default

	nexthop via 1.1.1.254  dev eth0 weight 1
	nexthop via 2.2.2.254  dev eth1 weight 200

SNMPd is running on the gateway (ucd-snmp).

When I snmp-get to ip 1.1.1.1 (from outside the netfilter gateway, say 3.3.3.3), the reply comes back though eth1 with ip 2.2.2.2

As you can see from what I captured of /proc/net/ip_conntrack, I think udp packets are not being tracked properly.
(I've modified the ip address accordingly)

----------------

I write a small UDP echo server/client and tested it on the gateway. The result was same: reply comes out from the wrong interface with wrong ip.

Is this a known bug?
