Admins,
In a conversation with SAP they advised me to use static routing to redirect
calls from an IP address to another in order to route the call through
another interface.
Example:
Host A    IP address: a.b.c.d  netmask 255.255.0.0       Ethernet card  tu0
Host A    IP address: e.f.g.h    netmask 255.255.255.0   FDDI card   fta0
Host B    IP address  s.t.u.v    netmask 255.255.0.0      Ehternet card tu0
Host B    IP address  w.x.y.z  netmask 255.255.255.0   FDDI  fta0
Host A and B are on the same subnet for the Ethernet interface and on a
private FDDI lan for the ftao interface.  The FDDI lan is isolated for all
other nets.
I would like box A and B to declare thier Ethernet address in ARP.  So that
they resolve for other boxes as Ethernet.  This is true also for Box B, I
would like for it to resolve the IP address for box A as   a.b.c.d  but when
it uses the address a.b.c.d it really uses e.f.g.h.  
I made an entry in the /etc/hosts for Host A
Host A   a.b.c.d   
so it resolves to a.b.c.d to its name.
I added the static route on Host B
route add -all -host a.b.c.d e.f.g.h
I then used traceroute...It listed one hop...as a.b.c.d...Did it fail to
route through e.f.g.h???
