I'm not aware of a way to setup such advanced routing rules with YaST.

ip rule add from $IP2 table T2

But via the {POST,PRE}_{UP,DOWN}_SCRIPT variables of the
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-* files it's possible to implement it.

By this for example it's possible to link the same system to multiple
networks. This is some times labled multi homed.

You achieve this via the "ip" command. Here you use the rule feature.

http://www.policyrouting.org/iproute2.doc.html has a dedicated section
about this.

The question from the Linux vendor point of view is: do we need to offer
more than YaST is able to handle right now?
