To clarify, connections which properly bind to NIC2 will work. For example, apache, which is running on both NICs has no problem handling requests from either NIC. The real issue is that the kernel is not recognizing that the UDP packet is part of a related series of packets coming in on NIC2. So instead it's choosing the ip associated with default route, which is IP1. Obviously this is the way it's suppose to work, since it's just following a simple routing table. I'm just looking for a workaround. ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Surda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, September 9, 2004 3:55 am Subject: Re: [LARTC] UDP routing issues with multiple NICs > On Thu, Sep 09, 2004 at 03:24:20AM -0600, Matthew Lowe wrote: > > Ok, the story is this, I'm running an Unreal Tournament 2004 > server.
