Schluntz" Subject: Question: Freebsd 2.2.8 and dual NICs Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2000 13:13:56 -0800 From: schluntz@timberwolf.workofstone.net Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a question on how FreeBSD 2.2.8 handles routing with a two nic system. I have one nic with a two IP addresses on it, the primary address for the card is on the same subnet as the systems default gateway. The second nic is on a different nic with 5 ip addresse. The two nic's are attached to different ISP's (long story) connecting me to the internet. My question is this, if I get a ftp or html request on one of the five addresses attached to the second card, will be FreeBSD box respond from that card or send the information out it's primary card and through the gateway? Or will it respond on the same card it got the request? Thanks for your help, please cc me or respond directly as I am not on the list. -Sean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
