Do you mean that this is a server setup and the traffic that "comes in" is actually a request (a web browser, an email, etc) from the outside world? If that's the case, it might be simplest to assign multiple IP's to the interface (or add a second one) and have each service only listen on one of them. Then, use source-based routing to make sure that traffic for each of them stays separate and goes out the desired default route. This trick is also useful for migrating servers from one subnet to another without downtime; the same box can happily be delivering service on two networks while you wait for DNS changes to propagate. But as mentioned above, more info about what exactly you are trying to accomplish would help produce more useful answers. -- -Regards- -Quentin Hartman- _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list euglug@euglug.org http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
