Dear Marco,

Ok, so do you understand why would I like to have default.rp_filter set to 1 before bringing up any interfaces? Anyway, what is the expected behaviour? Because, with the current setup it produces random results. After one bootup my eth0 had rp_filter=0, and eth1 had rp_filter=1, after the other boot, all had rp_filter=1. I dont think this is normal operation. Either all should have rp_filter set to 1 (default.rp_filter set to 1 before ifup), or all should have rp_filter set to 0 (default.rp_filter set to 1 after ifup).

What is your opinion?

Regards,

Please understand, that rp_filter to take effect on an interface,
net.ipv4.conf.<iface>.rp_filter _AND_ net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter must be
set to 1.
But default should set the default for new interfaces. Maybe. This is
usually a bit unclear.
Anyway, netbase cannot help you. If you want to set a sysctl for an
interface which does not exist in early boot do it with an up or pre-up
directive in /etc/network/interfaces.
