I don't have an elegant solution but I might have a few questions that could lead to a workable solution. First, am I right that you've actually got two physical interfaces on each machine? These are not logical, subinterfaces we're talking about, right? If so, then you could use the ifconfig command to set the IP address on each "ce1" interface (or however they're identified if they're not actually called "ce1") to be in a subnetwork that is unreachable from the "ce0" (?) interfaces. For example, you might set the ce1 interface on machineA to 192.168.100.1/30 and ce1 on machineB to 192.168.100.2/30. (I think the /30 could be replaced by whatever SM you want if you're sure no other addresses in your private/corporate intranet are in that address range.) If I'm thinking about this correctly, you shouldn't have to use the route command. However, I can't test because I don't have two Solaris machines with two physical interfaces each, so I can only guess. Be sure that your applications use the IP address of the directly connected interfaces when they need to access the other machine. -- TT _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users
