[Q] tftpd on multihomed hosts

There seems to be a problem when running a tftp server on a multihomed host
that can be reached on more than one interface.

Tftpd is started by inetd and sends its first datagram to the client. If the
clients ACK is not sent to the same interface that the server sends its data
from the ACK is discarded and the transfer times out!

I've tried tftpd from Digital UNIX 3.0B and 4.0.

Is there a patch for this problem?
