By definition, a secondary IP address on an interface is not to be used as a source. It is the whole reason for the distinction between primary and secondary IP addresses, and it is why all secondaries are deleted once the primary is removed (because there are no valid source addresses to choose from any longer, therefore IP valid communications are no longer possible). - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
