The "multiple table patch" can solve this. Here you can set up different routing
tables for different sources, firewalling results, etc.
I mostly use iptables for setting up firewalling rules (that do the
classification on whatever you want) and iproute2 for more the routing table
configs.
You can find more info on

So, i hope this helps a little,

Best regards,
Steven
