Yea, Sorry.  That's what I meant by using -D on the command line to set the
source host.

I wanted it in the routing table so that I could also use telnet or other
tools to that destination.  I have not dismissed using interfaces as an
option.

I didn't think of it that way, but yes, that could be done.  Thanks for the
tip.

I really need everything destined for those IPs in a sand box on that box,
it has a local network address and loopback is set to listen for the /25 I
have, my firewall routs the /25 just to the local lan so I can move the /25
to any machine I want w/o much configuration.  Until then, I'll live with
the goofy way the network is configured =)
