Fellow AIX'ers;

I have a situation that I cannot seem to get configured properly.
Perhaps someone can advise?

System has single NIC with two IP's (primary + alias) both in the
private range

192.168.0.4 primary
192.168.250.4 alias

The default gateway IP is 192.168.0.1

There is a static route for the alias for a specific IP as follows:
170.186.14.xxx / 255.255.255.0 --> 192.168.250.1 which is the IP of a
secondary router on a different network.

>From the host I can ping both routers just fine. And I can ping or
traceroute anything else that goes through the primary gateway.

I can ping the secondary router 192.168.250.1 just fine but NOTHING
beyond.

If I traceroute with a -s parameter of 192.168.250.4 the trace will
properly go through the secondary router to the destination just fine.
If I do NOT specify the -s (source IP) parameter it appears to attempt
to go through the primary router of which the destination IP is
unreachable.

My question is this: Other than defining a static route, how can I
force the access to the 170.186.14.xxx to go through the secondary
router IP of 192.168.250.1 ???

Any advice/recommendations greatly appreciated.

B
