I think what you need to do is to be able to set the next-hop adjacency on
a particular socket, overriding the kernels' routing table lookup(s).
You also need a way to discover which router sent you that particular
redirected packet(s).

There may be a way to do it in kernel-land without ever involving the
userland process but I'd have to give it a bit more thought.
