Guess I should have read Stephens[1] first, as this problem with

Solaris handle this, the way I expected. That is, the source IP address
for the server's reply is the dest IP of the client's request.

Are you sure ?

So Solaris remembers in socket structure the destination IP address of
last UDP message delivered to userland ?

This is not multi thread safe, so it would be a very bad idea.
