RE: Selecting an ethernet line

Albert,

When you create the routes, you can specify the BINDINT (Preferred
Binding Interface) parameter to designate the IP address associated with
the interface to which you want the route to bind.  So you will end up
with two default routes, identical with the exception of the BINDINT
parameter.  I believe that you can have up to eight default routes on a
system.

All of your routing entries will bind to a particular interface, so by
leaving your default routing entry at with the default value of *NONE,
all of your outbound traffic will monopolize that line.  Make sure that
your interfaces are active when you create the new routes.
