Hi!

We are setting up a multi homed server (currently running Linux
2.4.18) connected to several physical networks (due to the fact that
the server is a dhcp server too).

I haven't even been able to find a way to disable or circumvent the
check other than edit the source (fib_validate_source() is rather hard
to read by the way). It would be nice if there existed a runtime way
to disable it.

Ignore me. Just after I sent this mail I found
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/rp_filter which solves all my problems.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
