Hello.
A box of mine has an interface configured with two IPs on two different
nets:
# ifconfig
xl0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=9<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
inet 192.168.2.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
ether 00:50:da:77:5f:79
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
Then I have two gateways: 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.0.6.
"ping 192.168.2.1" works correctly (source address 192.168.2.2 is used)
"ping 192.168.0.6" also does (source address 192.168.0.2 is used)
Setting 192.168.2.1 as my default gateway allows me to ping any host on
the Internet (again source address 192.168.2.2 is used).
However, if I set 192.168.0.6 as the default router, I can't reach the
Internet, since it uses source address 192.168.2.2 and the next router
won't obviously like it.
Is this normal behaviour? Anything to set or check? Any other hint?
Perhaps I should mention that I also have some carp devices on that
interface, but I'm not sure whether it matters.
bye & Thanks
av.
