That's simple, FreeBSD can do policy based routing with ipfw. you need to compile a kernel with: options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD
myself I prefer to have these too but they're not absolutely necessary: options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100 options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT options IPDIVERT options DUMMYNET options BRIDGE Once we have a running kernel with the proper options, sysctl net.inet.ip.sourceroute=1 and use the ipfw fwd rules to set gateways based on policies. example: ipfw add fwd 192.168.1.1 ip from 172.20.0.0/24 to not 172.20.0.0/24 out makes 192.168.1.1 the next hop for any packet originating from 172.22.0.0/24 but destined outside 172.20.0.0/24 Baldur PS: man 8 ipfw and read http://www.freebsd.org/handbook and search http://www.google.com for further clues.
