Hi,

In message <_A4350@delegate-en.ML_> on 01/23/09(17:16:08) I wrote:

In DeleGate/9.9.2-pre1, I'll change the code as the enclosed patch.
It introduces a generic prefix in form "_-xxxx.host" for name or address.
For example, you can use it as follows:

 SRCIF=_-DontRoute.0.0.0.0    ... don't bind SRCIF but set SO_DONTROUTE
 SRCIF=_-DontRoute.10.1.1.1    ... bind SRCIF (by add) and set SO_DONTROUTE
 SRCIF=_-DontRoute.host.domain  ... bind SRCIF (by name) and set SO_DONTROUTE
 SRCIF=_-DontRouteIfBound.10.1.1.1  ... set SO_DONTROUTE if bound successfully
 SRCIF=_-DontRouteIfNotBound.10.1.1.1  ... set SO_DONTROUTE if not bound

Cheers,
Yutaka
