The situation is as follows: We have a couple of FreeBSD routers, with RFC1918 addresses on the ethernets and a public address on the loopback. This works fine for connecting to the routers, but is problematic for locally originated outgoing traffic (think NTP, think syslog): it takes the IP address of the outgoing interface, which is the RFC1918 address. Is there a way (sysctl, kernel option) to define which IP address is used for locally originated outgoing traffic?
