Re: [PLUG] which will be the source ip address?

[Chad Vogelsong <chad@vogelsong.net>]

It might be the first one that is in your /etc/hosts file as pointing to the 
computer name.  Especially if all the IP's resolve to the same hostname.

Such as:

127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost
192.168.1.2	server.host.com		server
192.168.1.1	server.host.com		server
192.168.1.3	"
"        .4	"

The server may send packets from .2 because it's first.

Just a thought anyway.  I'm not sure by a long shot.
