[BTW, is there any easy workaround > for this? Putting a static route for the client on the > erver seems to work...] The typical workaround is to use TCP instead of UDP for NFS transport. The send source/dest problem for aliased hosts is well known. There is an update in the next version of the TCP/IP code (not the CSRG stuff, from the place CSRG got thair stuff), which is unreleased and supposedly won't be released for 9 months or so (Van Jabobsen, I think). One alternative would be to put in another card and run the aliases on the "remote" card and the NFS off the "local" card so there isn't any alias interaction. Alternately, you could disable the security code in the NFS that causes it to drop reply packets from the wrong hosts. 8-|.
