Re: Re-routing packets via netfilter (ip_rt_bug)

Couldn't we feed the TCP RST packets with foreign sources through
the FORWARD table? We're lying to the routing system already by
telling it that the packet is forwarded.  So I don't see anything
wrong with lying to netfilter as well :)

Forwarded packets can't have any NAT manips in LOCAL_OUT, so it
should work. I'm not sure about it though because it would be
the only place where packets just appear in FORWARD, usually
all packets enters through PRE_ROUTING or LOCAL_OUT.
