My problem is to determine which ip address will be used by applications when
there are multiple nics and virtual interfaces configured:
e.g. I have a sun (solaris 10 but I don't think that this is a solaris 10
specific problem) with ce0 in network a and ce1 in network b. on ce0 there are
virtual interfaces ce0:1 etc in network a configured. It is not configured as a
router and /etc/defaultgateway contains the gateway from network a. So I would
expect that nic ce0 and the gateway of network a will be used to get into
another networks (and that is what I want to). But the fact is that both
interfaces are used for internet connections. Has anyone an idea how to
configure the sun that nic a will be preferred for connections with other
networks ?
The other theme I'm interested in is how to determine which ip address is used
as a sender address when there are multiple ip addresses configured on one nic
. Some applications use the virtual some the physical address. Can I define
somewhere in the os which address is used by applications ?
AFAIK you can't configure that behaviour. If your application explicitly
binds to an interface only that interface is used. In all other cases
Solaris determines the interface to use by itself
If you get another answer with instructions how to configure this
behavour I would like to know them because we've a problem with the same
configuration.

Bernd
Thanks for help
