Hi All,
A customer using openslp faced a funny problem. They use slptool to
get their results. The system where slptool runs have multiple interfaces. They
use eth1 as the interface that connects to slpd. In linux the route table
shows something like this
fe80::/64 eth0
fe80::/64 eth1
When they use slptool with -u (unicast) option for linklocal address of slpd
(server) they dont get any reply. The reason is quite simple. slptool tries to
send request via eth0 as that is first route hit in the routing table.
But the slpd is reachable only via eth1. So every time it fails. When they sawp
the route it works. They do not want any admin work everytime they want to use
different interface to do the same. They want to know
if its possible to let libslp to take in -I option or some such so that we can
specify the interface the slptool or libslp should use to send the request. Is
this feasible? I think by binding we can achieve this. Does anyone have any
idea if this a good addition to libslp? If so any pointer on how to go about it?
Regards,
Varun
