On Linux, IP addresses are not bound to interfaces. You need to use SO_BINDTODEVICE if that is what you want.
IP's are not bound to a specific interface - makes sense to me why the traffic acts the way it acts.
The security model is correct, and well defined, just different than BSD derived systems. It does conform to the standards (RFC's).
The model is logical, may be well defined, and could conform to every applicable RFC - but I would argue that it's got its problems. After all, conforming to RFC's doesn't make something secure and flawless - just look at security flaws in TCP/IP designs over the years that followed the RFC's. :) _________________________________________________________________ Watch LIVE baseball games on your computer with MLB.TV, included with MSN Premium! http://join.msn.com/?page=features/mlb&pgmarket=en-us/go/onm00200439ave/direct/01/
