To all,

 

I have a quick question, I have a FreeBSD 6.1 box and one of the NICs is
aliased to have a total of 3 IP addresses.  How does the outbound traffic
get handled there?  Does it always send outbound packets with the primary IP
address?  If so, is there a way to force a certain protocol, say ftp, to use
one of the alias IPs as outbound traffic?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!
