From my investigation i have found that my box stores routes based on icmp redirects (as seen with netstat -C) and it does learn the routes but not for all routes. Please look at this printout:
<snip> dns.toxicfilms. trek13.sv.av.co nihil.ae.poznan 0 0 4 eth1 dns.toxicfilms. nms.cyf-kr.edu. alnair.ae.pozna 0 0 6 eth1 <snip>
dns.toxicfilms.tv is my box
nihil.ae.poznan.pl is the router that routes to my other public nets alnair.ae.poznan.pl is the Internet Gateway.
Why did not my box learn to send packets to trek13.sv.av.com via alnair ?
it's 2.4.20-xfs, no other patches. I am running a similar box on the same net with 2.5.66-mm2 and i do not see this effect, thus i presume, it's not a configuration error.
Having one default route via Router A (nihil) should cause only one redirect per one connections. But i get flooded for every packet.
Regards, Maciej
