route add ... -iface fails

[Ian FREISLICH]

Hi

This used to work on tunX, but no more.

tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1492
        options=80000<LINKSTATE>
        inet 41.135.82.18 --> 41.135.70.1 netmask 0xffffffff 
        Opened by PID 2387
[router] ~ # route add 41.154.2.53 -iface tun0
route: bad address: tun0

It also doesn't work on ngX PPP interfaces.

ng2: flags=88d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1490
        inet 41.135.82.120 --> 41.135.70.1 netmask 0xffffffff 
[router] ~ # route add 41.154.2.53 -iface ng2 
route: bad address: ng2
[router] ~ # route add 41.154.2.53 -interface ng2
route: bad address: ng2

I have several PPP conections on several ADSL lines with the same
provider that doesn't do multi link PPP, so I need to be able to
set the destination interface.
