http://bertrand.gotpike.org//space/start/2006-08-16/1While adding some special routes for some machines i figured some errors on the router:<p class="paragraph"/> <div class="code"><pre><pre> kernel: martian source 6827efd8 <b><font color=darkblue>for</font></b> f738d456, dev ppp0 </pre></pre></div><p class="paragraph"/> Some comments found on the net stated these were MAC addresses, while it appears those was too short. More, i couldn't find something that look like that in our servers MAC addresses.<p class="paragraph"/> The light came after installing Pike's <a href="IP.v4" class="wiki_link_external" >http://modules.gotpike.org/module_info.html?module_id</a> using <a href="monger" class="wiki_link_external" >http://modules.gotpike.org/docs/UsingMonger.html</a>.<p class="paragraph"/> <div class="code"><pre><pre> $ pike Pike v7.6 release 86 running Hilfe v3.5 (Incremental Pike Frontend) &gt; IP.v4.Address(0x6827efd8); (1) Result: IP.v4.Address(<i><font color=darkred>"104.39.239.216"</font></i>) &gt; IP.v4.Address(0xf738d456); (2) Result: IP.v4.Address(<i><font color=darkred>"247.56.212.86"</font></i>) </pre></pre></div><p class="paragraph"/> It's now more clear that my router bothers about one of Google's IP (216.239.39.104) talking to my ppp0 IP (86.212.56.247) on the ppp0 interface.<p class="paragraph"/> Now, i can make more tests using <b class="bold">ip route get</b> pointed out by <b class="bold">redax</b> on #pike:<p class="paragraph"/> <div class="code"><pre><pre> <font color=brown># ip route get 247.56.212.86 from 216.239.39.104 iif ppp0 </font>RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument </pre></pre></div><p class="paragraph"/> Fixing this is a different story, but i can now name what's wrong.
