Ovidiu,

mhomed enables auto detection of the the outgoing interface based on the 
destination address. Is less complicated to used from script, but as all 
auto-system is not so performant (additional temporary sockets are 
opened to probe what will be the interface allocated by the system).

overall, you may say that it the same functionality - it;s just manual 
versus auto control ;)

regards,
bogdan
