[OLSR-users] olsrd and default gateway

[Sven-Ola Tuecke]

Hey,

one more sentence. This is on my wishlist for olsrd-0.5.x: Add a config 
param to olsrd.conf "which-routing-table-to-use". Currently the linux main 
table (ip route ls table 254) is used by default. For host routes it is 
therefore not possible to add other routes with higher prio to a high prio 
table (the only table with higher prio than main=254 is the local=255 table 
not suitable for host routes). Heres an expample output FYI:

255     local
254     main
253     default
0       unspec
