Doesn't a packet have the next hop set according to the destination, that is anything not for a locally attached network will go to the default router? Zgabe is correct in trying to use fwd, I use that to route packets according to the source. I use this method, in ipv4, although perhaps too intrusively as I also fwd packets that should go to the default route (which could be instead just accept'ed), but this is another topic. For zgabe problem, aren't packets coming from the pppaddress going through the ppp interface. So why don't you try to select them by the interface (and the direction they go through it, as in out xmit ppp) rather than by protocol? Not sure how will you enter an ipv6 address as a forwarding one, it does not work on my setup (macos). g
