RE: multiple IP's on one NIC

Phil,

Because you are leaving your subnet, then the use of multiple routing
entries is probably the best solution.  Try defining a route
specifically to your business partner's address and use the BINDIFC
parameter to bind this route to a particular interface address.  This
will then bypass your default route.

If you were to isolate your HTTP servers on a different subnet than the
AS/400 host, you should be able to get it to work, but I think you would
be introducing additional complexity to your routing tables.
