Thanks, that was clear enough ;)
I may need some experimenting to really understand, though.

Yes that's what i wanted to know.


| ip route list table local

spits out:

broadcast 192.168.1.0 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.1.2 
broadcast 127.255.255.255 dev lo  proto kernel  scope link  src 127.0.0.1 
local 192.168.1.2 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope host  src 192.168.1.2 
broadcast 192.168.1.255 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.1.2 
broadcast 127.0.0.0 dev lo  proto kernel  scope link  src 127.0.0.1 
local 127.0.0.1 dev lo  proto kernel  scope host  src 127.0.0.1 
local 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo  proto kernel  scope host  src 127.0.0.1 

I think (and hope) this is a very common configuration, then.

thx.
