[PLUG] routing question....


Is there a way to route traffic back out the same port in came in from on
a multi-port system?

I am switching from PPP to Ethernet (DSL) and in the transition phase it
would be nice. It seems that different paths - EG. in on PPP out on DSL or
in on DSL out on PPP does not work. The data flows but the connection
never establishes. Can't you have different RX/TX data paths? I suspect it
is because it uses the (ppp0) assigned IP address in response to port
requests on both ports thus confusing the originating client.

So instead of that, in a system with ppp0 and eth0 can you have the data
go out the same path in came in on with the same IP- in esscense two route
defaults. All data that came in on ppp0 goes out on ppp0 and data in on
eth0 goes out on eth0.

My ppp0 is assigned one IP and eth0 another.
