How are you planning to "route"?

Playing games with routing rules, or mangling via. something like iptables/netfilter won't change
the IP source address, which is what SERV ADDR == 0xffffffff means (as with CA or PVA).

If you are thinking to create an active repeater (application level proxy), then this app. will
need to copy the original IP source address into SERV ADDR field.
