FreeBSD has a [gs]etsockopt() constant used to cause a given socket to use an alternate routing table (FIB); it appeared in FreeBSD 7.1. It would be useful to have this exposed as a constant in the socket module to allow special routing rules in complex environments.

Kyle asked me to look at this; I think it looks ready for checkin, so unless someone else jumps in with something to say I'll check it in in a day or two. It's not going in to 2.6 however, just 2.7 trunk and probably 3.2.
