'ip route get telnet_server_ip_on_eth1' returns local_ip_from_eth0
as src.	telnetd listens as usually to 0.0.0.0, incoming connection
comes (IP1->IP2), so the server always gets two different IPs...
ping syntax did you use?  Did you have to modify either of these applications
to get them to work?
	Nooo :) 'ping -I IP1 IP2' or if you set IP2's prefsrc to IP1
then even 'ping IP2' works
I looked at the patch...but don't have a good enough grasp of the routing
code to provide a useful critique.  I believe my patch _is_ smaller though ;)
	At least, we have two alternatives :) I'm still not sure
whether the "loop" feature will need some tuning in other netsource 
places.
Thanks,
Ben
