You don't need real source routing (and real source routed packets will probably be dropped by the first router that sees them). You just need to make a different decision at the first hop. You can do this with the SO_BINDTODEVICE option on a raw socket. But this probably also requires administrative privileges. Jean-Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
