more on forcing traffic to route to local interface though another interface.

I've been adding printk's to the linux routing code to try to figure out how things are working...

It appears that at least one of the reasons why what I want to do will not work is that this code in route.c:

/*

	 *	Now we are ready to route packet.
	 */
	if ((err = fib_lookup(&key, &res)) != 0) {
		if (!IN_DEV_FORWARD(in_dev))
			goto e_inval;
		goto no_route;
	}

returns a 'res' that has the res.type == RTN_LOCAL.

So, does anyone know what part of the code populates
the fib tables? I need to convince that code to never (or rarely) use any RTN_LOCAL type, at least for certain interfaces and/or sockets.

Other ideas are welcome, of course!
