If you have multiple interfaces on a based router, with multiple default routes (in this case two), dynamic routing with BGP or OSPF, have multiple routing tables and want traffic from a specific subnet to use a specific default route, with Linux you will do something like this:

• setup default route for the router into the default routing table
• setup dynamic routing protocols with bird
• export routes into a second routing table
• export second default route received via a dynamic routing protocol, into a third routing table
• setup policy routing with ip rule
  • redirect all traffic to the second routing table (the one without a default route)
  • if no route matches: redirect traffic from specific subnet to third routing table
  • last rule: redirect traffic to default routing table

maybe with ipfw setfib

• Unordered List Item
