	Hi,

my local ISP has Class C networks from two different providers with different
routing. To be able to take advantage of this situation addresses of both
providers are routed to my hosts via a PPP line.

So my question is how I can get the routing machine to use another address
for certain networks to get use the optimal routing to those networks.
An IP alias won't help because it still sends packets with the default
IP number. Actually I'm using a hack based on IP tunneling but I would
like to know if there is a better solution.
