Hey,
You can probably alias your ethernet as 2 different classes of IP
addresses. ex: Class A (10.0.0.0/8), Class B (172.16.0.0/16), or
Class C (192.168.0.0/24)
If you have your server bind() with your sockaddr_in.sin_addr as
INADDR_ANY, then have your clients try to connect each of the aliased
IP's. Your server will think it's connected to 2 separate client's
(although your server will have the same IP as each client).
When you have a connection established, call getsockname() and
getpeername() and you'll see what I'm referring to.
Hope this helps.
