    how do you want aix to decide which interface to take?

    every route has a destination (a choose this route if...) and a
    interface which is connected to the gateway for this destinatio

    I have a RS/6000 with 3 interfaces, one of which is connected to a
    firewall.
    It appears all AIX routing is performed by destination ip address. Is
    there
    a way to perform routing by interface? I have tried the smit route but
    appears only to add another entry in the routing table for the
    destination
    addess.

    thanks.
