Not nice. I have a dream, that fbsd now capable to do real multi-fib routing :(

What about ipfw fwd ? That was working years ago for me, but of course, requires to put all custom routing entries into ipfw rules.

What about binding of FIBs to local addresses or/and interfaces ?
Such way that kernel will decide what fib to use examining local IP address  of package ?
