Hi
Adding routes using the -iface option to route(8) doesn't work any
more. This was useful to select a specific interface for a route
when the remote gateway has the same IP address. Are there plans
to restore this functionality?
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1492
options=80000<LINKSTATE>
inet 41.135.82.18 --> 41.135.70.1 netmask 0xffffffff
Opened by PID 2387
[router] ~ # route add 41.154.2.53 -iface tun0
route: bad address: tun0
It also doesn't work on ngX PPP interfaces.
ng1: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1490
inet 197.87.27.111 --> 41.135.70.1 netmask 0xffffffff
ng2: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1490
inet 41.135.82.120 --> 41.135.70.1 netmask 0xffffffff
[router] ~ # route add 41.154.2.53 -iface ng2
route: bad address: ng2
[router] ~ # route add 41.154.2.53 -interface ng2
route: bad address: ng2
