I assume that your client and NIC B are on different subnets? The reason this happens is that the web-server looks at your client's IP address, and compares it to it's two IP addresses for subnet-mask bits and determines that your client IP is NOT on the same network as either NIC, so it sends it to the default gateway. The ugly but simple way to fix this is with a Static Route route add net client.ip.address.here mask whatever.is.appropriate.here gateway ip.address.NICB.shoulduse This will work fine for a small number of networks, but becomes a headache if you can's specify the network NICB should route to efficiently. madmac > > Is there any possibility to do an source-destination routing without an > default gateway? > > thnx > Marc > > -- Doug MacFarlane [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
