Simple howto for source based routing:

First set up an alternative routing table using commands like this:

 /sbin/ip route add <prefix>/<prefixlen> dev <device> table <tablenum>
 /sbin/ip route add default <some routing spec> table <tablenum>

Then use this table for a set of source IPs:

 /sbin/ip rule add from <prefix>/<prefixlen> table <tablenum>

The command /sbin/ip seems a bit more flexible than commands like
ifconfig and route.
