I have a solaris 8 box which is serving NFS to a local network. This box has two ip addresses: a primary interface 10.1.1.10 and a virtual interface of 10.1.1.9 on the same card. On the FreeBSD box I then try to mount a NFS partition from the server address 10.1.1.9. This mount fails because the solaris box responds with the 10.1.1.10 ip address. I'm trying to replace some Linux servers with FreeBSD servers but this NFS issue is holding me up. What's the proper response to this? Linux and Solaris accept the responses from the Solaris box but FreeBSD ignores them even giving me ICMP warnings. RFC1123 says in section 2.3 (page 14): `When the local host is multihomed, a UDP-based request/response application SHOULD send the response with an IP source address that is the same as the specific destination request of the UDP request datagram. The "specific destination address" is defined in the "IP Addressing" section of the companion RFC [INTRO:1].' This is listed as a SHOULD... but because it doesn't how should FreeBSD respond? How do I get around this? Thanks, -Shawn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
