    I have a dual-homed machine running Solaris 8. Each interface is up on
    it's own network segment. I need to get traffic that originates on the
    second interface (hme1) to go to the router that is on the same segment.

    So far it appears not to work correctly, with traffic routing through to
    the router on the other interface. It does appear to work
    sporadically. I currently have two default routes on the system,
    pointing at each router.

    I've seen a couple of references while Google'ing around that imply
    (strongly) that while Solaris does support multiple default routes, it
    does so in a quasi-braindead fashion of round-robining between routes.
    Anyone know if that's true?

    And if it's true, is there a way to specify that traffic on an interface
    must be routed to a specific gateway address?

    Thanks in advance for any insight.
    -Alan
