Route App on special Interface (not std. GW)

Hy,
I got a simple 3-PC net with a WAN Router for Internet-Access.
PCs are on SUSE 9.0/9.1
One PC has an unused ISDN-Card.

Question:
How can I configure my Net, so one special Application (Moneyplex) on every
PC does use the ISDN-Card for Internet-Dial-Up instead of the std. Router
(GW)?

I can copnfigure a proxy in moneyplex.
I have no clue, what net or host moneyplex is talking to.

Any help is appreciated so I can throw out my MS-Quicken Banking to a
Linux-App.

Andy

You can use advanced IP routing properties with the iproute software
in linux. You can specifically route special protocols due to the
TCP/UDP ports.
You also need to mark paquets with iptables to redirect traffic to
a special route.
You can read LARC to know more about these solutions.

An example for http:
Create a special routing table for http traffic
# echo 201 http >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
# ip rule add fwmark 80 table http
Add a special default gateway for this traffic
# ip route add default via 82.226.217.254 table http

And in iptables
To mark the http paquets
# iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j MARK \
--set-mark 80

and all your http traffic will now pass by a special default route
wich is 82.226.217.254 :-)

Hope this helps.

If you can handle the German language interface [ :-) ], it appears
that moneyplex is included in latest SuSe (9.0 & 9.1):

My deutsch reading skills very rusty (can't you tell?), but this may
be your best bet. Fact is, looks pretty interesting ;-)

If you use MS just for off-line work, then maybe you can find
something that the bank and you can use ( ie., common data formats).

You might want to look at this for isdn issues:

Saw mailing list posts that indicate that recent 2.6.x's have broken
isdn4linux :-(
Resolved in SuSe?

Seems isdn is much more used in EU than US and above seems to cover
issues/pitfalls pretty well.
