I posted this some months ago, but the suggested "I just fixed it" apparently
didnt.
On a FreeBSD box with multiple IP addresses, shouldnt FreeBSD pick the source
IP of a packet of the net that the destination IP address is for (if possible?)
That is, in my case I have an IP address on a standard network class C address,
as well as an alias in the non-routed 10.x.x.x range. I have a default route
for both networks:
e.g.
10 link#1 UCSc 11 0
CLASSC link#1 UC 0 0
When I send any packets to the 10. addresses, I want my source IP to be my
aliased 10. Address. In all other cases I want it to be my normal address.
This is because I have a bunch of devices hanging on the 10. network that I
want to talk to, and who can only communicate to other devices on the 10.
network. The kicker is this works under Win95 if I define multiple networks
for myself..
