ROUTE extension for linux 2.6.3 HELP

Hello,

I have a need to direct certain traffic out certain WAN interfaces,
which have dynamic addresses.

I'm unable to patch my 2.6.3 kernel with the ROUTE extension though. :(
is there another way to do that?

I tried the new patch-o-matic-ng CVS and it says ROUTE requires kernel < 2.6.0

But I do see this file.

patch-o-matic-ng/ROUTE/linux-2.6/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ROUTE.c

How I can add ROUTE in my 2.6.3 kernel?

Thanks very much for reading about my problem.

You don't need the route extension to do "policy routing". All you need is CONNMARK, and a customized iproute2 setup that has multiple routes set up.

Pseudo-tasks:

Add routing tables for each WAN interface
Add routing rules that link FWMARK's with the routing tables previously created.
Add CONNMARK and MARK entries to PREROUTING and/or OUTPUT in order to keep track of sessions and direct traffic to the routing table you desire by setting the packet's firewall MARK. Profit!

If you've exhausted researching what I have described above, come back and I'll give some more detail. I am pretty tired at this point, so I wouldn't be much help (2:00 am)..
