Thank you Mr.Alexey Bovanenko I think you are correct as some people suggested me the same. > you can use proxy solution for specific sites or > you can write paths for selected sites in gateway table on your computer. I guess you are suggesting to deal with iptables (and/or proxy server) and route commands to fire the particular packets to targeted site. At this point, I prefer 100% ruby solution, but until I can make em-proxy working, I will try debian's command line and independent proxy server and report back here.
