Hi David, Good thoughts, I don't see a reason you would want to do this except for legacy migration or such.
But your network understanding of this topic seems correct to me. > What about a request initiated from Astlinux to an internal LAN device... say > ping 192.168.168.99 from Astlinux... will that come from .1 or .254? Can it > be specified? And would I even care? I think you can define a route with a source address, but without that probably the first occurring in "ip a" would be used.
