This is an entirely different case, there are '2' interfaces here:
br0 and eth2
And it is logging a 'route' 

In my case, there is only 'br0', and I want to drop traffic on the grounds 
of IP specific addresses (mainly Eastern Europe and Asia), either in or out 
and regardless of the interface, 

But from what I see, INPUT and FORWARD will not work and neither 'ethX' will 
ever see the packet because it is handled on the 'br0' stack. 

There's gotta be a $%#@ way...   :(
But thanks...
ET 

PS: ebtables won't work either because it works on MAC addresses.
Think about it...
