Hi Mordy, Not really an answer to your question but I was also wondering about a related topic. Let's say my Linux server has one ethernet card (using IP aliasing) and multiple default gateways to get back to the internet. Is there a way to make my IP packets go back to the clients via the same exact gateway that they came through?
