Hello, I hope this isn't a silly question...but I can't see a way out.
I have a Solaris 10 machine with a public network card. We're currently moving to new ISP, so we have two different routers on the DMZ with different public networks. I configured a virtual IP on the public network card of Solaris 10, so to have the public ethernet card be able to communicate with both routers, the old one and the new one. I still have the default route to the old router. If I try to contact the new IP from the outside, I can see the packet arriving from the new router to my machine, I can see the machine try to answer, but the packet is probably going through the old path (old IP) using the default router, so the packet returning to the outside caller is probably not matched, and the connection is not estabilished. Is there a way for the machine to understand that the connection arrived from another path, and use the other router instead? How can I manage an IP change like this without any black out?
