Thanks, that seems like a sensible thing to do. Unfortunately, it didn't
solve my problems (but it might have gotten me a bit further).

When I start out experimenting, I have elxl0 NAT:ed and elxl1 down.
I start up elxl1, and the NAT stops working every few HTTP requests -
my guess is that Solaris routes then to the wrong NIC and the response
(if it even gets out on the wire) is lost. However, I can't remove
any of
the (two) default routes, because they are both needed, it seems.
I haven't been able to write an ipf rule to route the NAT:ed packets
without a kernel route, is that even possible? If it is, I have the
syntax
wrong. :)
