Help with Route for PPTP tunnel?

Hi,

I'm using that new anonymizing VPN service from Sweden, "Relakks", and it's working GREAT if I tell pptpconfig to route ALL traffic to the tunnel. They supply a nice fat pipe.

The problem is that I run Apache here, and Gallery2, so I need to allow hits to the web site to NOT be routed to the Relakks VPN tunnel, but to the main (default) route.

I have never written a route rule before, and would like some help please.

tia.

I don't know much about routing (which can be quite complex) but maybe you find useful information on this page:

http://lartc.org/
(Linux advanced routing howto)

They seem to have a detailed howto (just scroll down the page).

This is an awesome tutorial; thank you for the SMOKE pouring out of my ears.

I'm re-compiling the kernel with Advanced Routing, and Policy Routing enabled. This could be the key.

I'm still open to other suggestions at this point, tho.
