Re: How to bind FTP to a specific address.

[Bryan Dietz <bdietz400@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rob.  I think you are going to need to use the Schowler Routes.

<snip>
Another common use of Schowler routes is to force local traffic out of a 
specific interface. Without Schowler routes, the system always uses the 
first *DIRECT route that it reads from the routing table and will use 
the local interface that is dynamically bound to that route when sending 
to a local system. Because *DIRECT routes are the highest precedence 
route, there is no way to configure the system to use a preferred 
interface. However, by creating Schowler routes, these *DIRECT routes 
become Indirect routes and, therefore, other routes (for example, host 
routes) can be configured to have higher precedence than these Schowler 
routes.
