Daniel, Since it's not possible to have multiple default gateways, you could probably define explicit routes to each of your subnets using the appropriate ip address/gateway for each of the adapters

Yes, all clients are located in different subnets. Some of the clients are connected through the same IP subnet, but most of them are on different subnets. Running only the GB adapter wont be enough. There is approx. 150 TSM clients, and they are located on 6 different subnets. The problem is that if we use the default gateway on the GB adapter(or any other adapter), the switch will flood. This is because the switch is using "Spanning Tree". What it reallys means is, that if a client connects to the TSM server on one of the two 100Mbs ethernet adapters, and the TSM server responds on the GB adapter(which have the default gateway), the Cisco switch wont like it, as it keeps track of the mac-address within the packet. When the TSM server responds, it will respond with the mac-address of the GB adapter, instead of the original mac-address from the 100Mbs Ethernet adapter. This causes the switch to get schizofrenic, as it sends one packet to one mac-address, but recieves a respone from another mac-address... This is solved in AIX 5L, which have the possibility to have multiple default gateways bound to different network interfaces. This means that if you have three adapters, you can have 3 different default gateways, one for each adapter. The question was if somebody has been able to solve this on a lower level of AIX, such as ML 4.3.3.09.
