    Thanks to all who replied to my probably clumsily-worded question. The
    original question: I need to get traffic that originates on the
    second interface (hme1) to go to the router that is on the same segment.

    Respondents somehow figured out that I was asking how to route packets
    that originate from a specific interface (meaing IP address) to be
    routed through a specific router.

    The consensus is that it is not possible in standard Solaris, which
    makes all routing decisions only on destination address. If there is
    more that one default route, the routing decision will be done in a
    round-robin fashion.

    Suggestions included trying to install IP Filter, or find third-party
    routing software that can add policy or source based routing capability
    to Solaris.

    Thanks for the advice.
    -Alan
