Thank you for replies to date. As I understand the documentation, the out_alias option:

# out_alias if this port is used as a destination, the default
# cluster alias will be used as the source address

This is not quite what I am trying to achieve.
If I have a cluster as follows,

                "real" IP Node Alias IP Default Alias
NodeA xxx.xxx.xxx.001 xxx.xxx.xxx.003 xxx.xxx.xxx.005
NodeB xxx.xxx.xxx.002 xxx.xxx.xxx.004

If a client connects to NodeA using the node alias address (xxx.xxx.xxx.003) I want the server to respond using the
Same (xxx.xxx.xxx.003) and not either the real IP or the default alias.

In addition, if a user telnets into the alias address (xxx.xxx.xxx.003) and then initiates an FTP session to a remote host,
The source address transmitted should be the alias IP (xxx.xxx.xxx.003) and not the reail IP or default alias.

Is this possible?
