[nflug] Routing Problem that I would love some input on

[Joshua Ronne Altemoos]

There are advanced routing programs out there like zebra that should be able
to do this for you!

Grr, I was hoping there was a way to do it just using the routing tables.
Somehow I had it set in my brain that there was a way, but I just forgot how
to do it.  Oh well, I guess I'll go back to my original idea and just put
the apps on different boxes and not worry about dealing with iptables or any
of that jazz. 

Thanks for the responses.

Yeah, it would be nice if you COULD do what was originally inquired about.
If it were possible in ANY way, I could load balance all my network
traffic without any problems :)  (well, without spending loads of money, 
too <G>).

Ugh!  There's that nasty word again, "iptables."  Almost as nasty as "vi."
:P
