Yeah that solution is always there, but I'm not going for that since |
| 29 |
I'm evaluating the fiber connection (a new ISP in my locality). Won't |
| 30 |
need the ADSL may be after a month or so when I'll have unlimited plan |
| 31 |
on fiber. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
@Pandu, or may be the DSL ISP was down yesterday when I was trying. |

The problem is not exactly fixed yet, although I'm able to add static |
| 36 |
routes on the DDWRT router using route command (and it is working), |
| 37 |
there's no way to route all traffic from a source via the other router. |
| 38 |
It doesn't have iptables ROUTE target neither iproute2 support.. is |
| 39 |
there some other method do to this using iptables? |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
The whole problem would be solved if I could add routes on my local |
| 42 |
machine, but that doesn't seem to work. It always goes via fiber which |
| 43 |
is the default route. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
The final solution to this problem would be putting in a Linux machine |
| 46 |
there. I'm trying to build Gentoo for the Raspberry Pi which can be |
| 47 |
used for this task, but stuck at Python since it won't cross compile. |
| 48 |
Anyway that's another topic. |
