Hi,
Are you sure that source based routing is what you want here?
No, maybe the wording is not correct.
In a way what you're looking for is similar to this but at
a guess, you don't want to have to do anything manual
yourself - you just want the system to send packets out to
X via A if it received a packet from X via A, correct ?
Yes, that's exactly what I want. I don't care if I need to configure
this manually as long as I don't have to configure it separate for
every client.
Can you please give a more concrete example of what you
want to do, what you're currently doing and what doesn't
behave as you expect?
The server has two interfaces in the same network, say A and B. The
clients can connect to the server either via interface A or B. Now
if a host connects via interface A the outgoing packets use interface
A or interface B but the server should always use the same interface
for outgoing packets.
Are the clients directly attached to the same network as the
interfaces A and B or are clients behind a router that
connects to the network with both A and B?
Can I ask what the specific reason for wanting all traffic for
a specific client to use the same interface is? Normally we
find people using interfaces like this for redundency purposes
and so it can be appropriate to use IPMP or link aggregation
(if supported by the driver) and let Solaris do the load
spreading across the interfaces as required.
