Thanks Theo for your hint. I look into this in the context of hoststated. What still puzzles me is that my multi-homed server sends out UDP packets on interface fxp2=10.1.1.31 with source IP address of another interface, e.g. fxp3=10.2.2.31. Therefore, I'll take a look at bind(2) and sendto(2) now, maybe this helps to solve my confusion (poured too much Kirsch into the cheese fondue last night ;-). By the way, googling with "Set source address for UDP packets from multihomed server" brought up some interesting discussions in other contexts, such as OpenVPN, bind or ntpd.
