:Hello!

:Is there a way to use a non-default MTU to talk to some of the hosts on the
:local network? Thanks!

    Yes, though it must still be smaller then the MTU assigned to the 
    outgoing network interface.

    You can use the 'route' command to create routes to particular target
    hosts or target networks and specify various parameters for that 
    route, including the mtu.
