IRIX always sets the source IP address of a packet to the primary IP
address of the interface. There are pros and cons of this approach
but that is the way that IRIX does it and I don't think it will
change. This subject has come up before but SGI likes it the way it
is.

IRIX does not make a good router. However, I believe it will function
as a router if you have two (physical) NIC. Otherwise, you'll have to
buy a real router.
