    One interface is a webserver, its registered address is the address at the
    firewall. At the server it is another address which is resolved locally.
    Any traffic that comes through the firewall into the
    server must go back through the firewall. The inside firewall is the
    default gateway. If a remote user tries to connect via the other 2
    interfaces, it does not work because the packet is routed through the
    firewall. If I add a static route for a user coming in the other interfaces,
    they work but they can't come in to the webserver via the firewall because
    their packets will be routed by out the interface the static route was setup
    on. I agree, it appears all routing is done via destination address. I
    would like to route via destination and source or interface.
