    Guys,

    There are 4 NICs in our E450 server and all of them
    have different subnet configuration.
    Their default gateways have the same routes to other
    networks.

    If I configure the /etc/defaultrouter file to have all
    of the default gateways of the 4 interfaces in there
    then how the system will send the packets to a
    particular network?

    Since all of the 4 gateways have the routes to
    172.16.x.x the server will send the first request for
    the destination MAC address to all of the configured
    default gateways.
    Than how does it decide to which interface to use if
    all of the routers will respond with their physical
    address?

    Or should we force the packet forwarding to 172.16.x.x
    via a selected interface by adding an extra route rule
    manually?

    Actually what is the correct configuration in this
    situation?

    Thanks in advance!

    John
