Default Solaris gethostbyname and roun robining


Hi all,

The Solaris man page for gethostbyname includes...

"The system will strive to put the addresses on the same sub-net as that of
the caller first."

This means that round robining doesn't strictly work as you might expect
(or want). Does anyone know if there's a way to get Solaris not to prefer
addresses on the same subnet, but to treat all as equal?

Cheers,
