I have frequently assigned multiple hosts with separate IP addresses in
the same subnet.  In a partitioned Domino server (a Domino installation
with multiple servers on the same hardware platform) it is standard
practice to assign a unique IP address to each server.  Because each
server would be listening (and talking to) specific addresses/ports,
then the source address within Domino traffic would be set to the
assigned address.

If you were to ping an address on that subnet from the AS/400, which IP
address would be used as the source of the ping request?  I think that
is Phil's question.

IP will perform outbound load balancing using the DUPRTEPTY parameter on
your routing entries, this would allow a particular route to be
preferentially used, but would have no effect on traffic to local
clients.

I think the short answer is no, there is no way to specifically control
which address would be used as a source for outbound local traffic when
a request is initiated on the AS/400 and multiple IP addresses are in
the same subnet.  Whether the OS will follow a predictable pattern in
this case, I don't know.

Do I understand the question Phil?

HTH,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
