I have a question regarding the Berkeley networking code. If a host has multiple interfaces (each with its own IP address), is the IP address in the source field always that of the interface, if the data originated on that host. Consider a host with two interfaces en0 and en1. Interface en0 has an address of 134.22.80.6, interface en1 has an address of 134.22.32.1, both having netmasks of 255.255.240.0. If someone TELNETs out of the host to an address on the 134.22.32.xxx subnet, will the source address be 134.22.32.1, or 134.22.80.6 (address of the first interface configured)? Inquiring minds want to know. -- "Better Living through modern chemistry" PaperMail: 130 Colonnade Rd, Nepean,ON Marcus Leech E-mail: ml@gandalf.UUCP Gandalf Data Ltd PacketRadio: VE3MDL@VE3JF "The opinions expressed herein are solely my own" So there
