In theory I shouldn't care which IP address the Unix client uses to

between the 2 machines and therefore I need to ask them to create a
rule in the firewall to allow traffic between the 2 IP addresses. I
need to be able to tell them the correct source and destination IPs as
well as port number. I know the destination IP ( its the AS/400 IP)
and the port. But the Unix machine has multiple IPs and I don't know
how to control which will be used.

AFAIK, this has nothing to do with java specifically ... but just general TCP/IP sockets.

On the unix machine, are more than one IP in the same subnet? I suspect not, as usually assigning multiple IP's to a single machine is so the machine can participate in multiple subnets (not always, of course).

Assuming this, then the unix machines routing table should determine what IP the client will use to connect to the server.

Of course it is possible that more than one IP is on the same subnet ... in which case I don't think you can control which IP the client will use to connect to the server. In this case I would suggest you ask that firewall rules be setup for all client IP's that might be used.
