binding to network interface ?

Hi all :

I have two interfaces on my redhat 7.3 system, eth0 and eth1, eth0 is for general stuff and eth1:0 , eth1:1 eth1:2 ... is for the web traffic, using apache
makes apache send the web traffic from eth0 instead of eth1,

what should i do to get the web traffic routed through only the eth1
interface ?

asking on the apache news group, tells me it is A OS specific question

any suggestions will be appreciated
thanks
-Jay

It sounds like you want to set the "Listen" option in your apache httpd.conf
file. There may be other parameters as well, though.

You have not fully explained what you are trying to do here with the 2
cards, so I will propose a WAG:
Look up references to the iproute2 commands. With these commands, you
can force packets to go out of the appropriate interface according to
their source IP address and many other things. This may provide your
solution. Check out this web page: http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/nano.txt

Like I said, I'm just taking a WAG at what the problem is. What I have
written may be totally irrelevent to your problem!

Routing and binging are different things.

If your default route is via eth0, and you have no other routes, than that
is why the packets go out through eth0.

Why didnt you make the eth1:1 eth1:2 etc, actually be eth0:1 ? eth0:2 ????

You can try finding out how to add routes that specfiy the source address
(port)
and route out to the gateway via eth1. This is routing by source.
