Hello,
I'm running DU3.2C and the network I'm connected to is in the process of
migration to another set of IP numbers. So, I used ifconfig's alias
command to add another IP address to tu0 interface and this is the
output from "netstat -r":
--------------------
Routing tables
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Interface
Netmasks:
Inet 255.255.255.0
Route Tree for Protocol Family 2:
default gw.net1.com UG 0 9456 tu0
localhost localhost UH 2 620026 lo0
net2.com chost.net2.com U 1 188109 tu0
net1.com cron.net1.com U 1 730 tu0
--------------------
cron.net1.com is my IP address and chost.net2.com is the alias.
Now, ICMP requests issued from my host all have source IP address
cron.net1.com independently of where to they are destined. So, if I
ping a.net1.com and b.net2.com, IP source addresses will be
cron.net1.com. However, when I reply to other's ICMP requests, then
depending on from which network requests are coming from, my IP address
is set correspondingly (i.e. cron.net1.com for net1.com and
chost.net2.com for net2.com). I don't know what behaviour is
recommended, but I'm having problems communicating with IP hosts on
net2.com. Is there a way to make DU set IP source address that
corresponds to destination's network IP address?
Thanks.
