Hi, All!

I have two Ethernet Cards at my computer with the same subnet but
different IPs
something like:

eth0: 192.168.0.125
eth1: 192.168.0.126
(net 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0)
OS: linux

Assume I have another host with IP address 192.168.0.127.

How can I send from my program udp packets to 192.168.0.127 exactly
via eth1 interface?
May be it's not possible because than progam call sendto(...) function
OS uses first
appropriate interface - eth0?

Pls don't talk about different subnet for eth0, eth1!

Best Regards!
thx!

What about adding a host route ?
# route add 192.168.0.127 dev eth1

Is this one network, with two cards connected to the "same" wire, or
is this really two isolated segments.

Set the routing correctly. Either:

1. Correct the network layout - two _different_ address ranges
2. Use a 'host' route ('/sbin/route -add host 192.168.0.127 eth1')
3. Use iproute2 and traffic control (see Adv-Routing-HOWTO).

Your program uses the kernel routing functions. The kernel normally
assumes that when you create two routing entries to the same destination
with the same metric, that you "changed your mind" and really want to
use the last one declared. If you look at the routing table output
(/sbin/route -n), this shows up as the first route _listed_

What "problem" are you trying to solve by using two network cards with
the same network setup? Perhaps the HOWTOs will .

In other words, does your setup look like:

rest of 192.168.0 <->your box .125 .126 <-> 192.168.0.127

If so, you might also consider enabling bridging, put both eth0 and
eth1 into the bridge, assign it an ip of .125 and/or .126 and let the
bridging code figure-out which interface to send stuff, with the added
benefit that your .127 host will be able to reach the rest of
192.168.0 without any additional routing setup.
