This is a little off topic so a more approiate place to direct this question if it existed would be appreciated..
Here a really in depth programming question relating these two I have a computer within a firewall, that is prevented from accepting outside connections(Though www/ftp/telnet all work as normal). I gone an ethernet connect to eastablish servers, not to be blocked off... So I have been working on solution to fix this bug :) I've been inside out redir's source and know it very well(I fact rewrote it use generalized functions, to make easier to read). And I just gotten ipip's tar.gz.orig to look at(I will have to create a server/client to estblish the connection from inside) But anywhat In this method. a modified redir would access this modified ipip so I can route multiple sockets over the one socket establish from my inside computer. Since I don't have IP numbers to give out(except over the vitrual tunnel network), I don't think I'll be able to use the normal route. instead redir will have to interface to the ipip daemon more directly. My question is how to I create sockets so that they are guaranteed to use a cretian ip interface in linux the socket functions memntioned in the info file under sockets are awful general and don't give me control I need. Any help/existing programs/other source would be appreciated.
