Hi,

we have to following constellation in our LAN:
* the NetBSD-machine (i386) is on subnet 12 which is connected to subnet 11
* a HPUX-server is both on subnet 11 and on subnet 1 - its default
  route goes to subnet 1

so when I try to mount a directory from the HPUX-server on the
NetBSD-machine via NFS, the request goes to the interface on subnet 11
of the server while the reply comes from the interface on subnet 1 ->
the NetBSD-machine doesn't get a correct answer and gets confused
(i.e. nearly all NFS-requests hang). Other network services like ping
or telnet work fine. Everything is ok when we tell the server to use
subnet 11 to reach subnet 12.

Shouldn't the NetBSD-machine recognise the packets from the other
interface?

Thanks,
Jochen
