Kern: I think James is referring to situations I've seen before. A
daemon can be set up to listen on varioius addresses, but when it
comes to initiating outgoing communications, it uses "the default
system address", for lack of a better term.
For example, in this setup, the main address is 192.168.0.67. There
is an alias at 192.168.0.68. Note the netmasks differ.
$ ifconfig fxp0
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
inet6 fe80::204:acff:fea3:703d%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
inet 192.168.0.67 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
inet 192.168.0.68 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.168.0.68
ether 00:04:ac:a3:70:3d
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
I've seen it where daemons are configured to listen to all addresses,
but initate outgoing connections only on the main address. However,
if a daemon is configured to use just one address, everything should
go out through that one address..
But... I think I've send James what he needs in a previous message.
