Hi,
I have the following setup:
                _______________                     _________
--- public IP | NetBSD 3.0 box |10.1.1.1----10.1.1.2| Router|Internet-------
                ---------------                     ---------

That is, the NetBSD box has a public IP, on a public IP network, but it's
not the network connecting it to the default router (its default route is
10.1.1.2).
This works mostly fine, exept that for outgoing connections from the NetBSD
box, the source address is 10.1.1.1.
Is there a way to force it to use the public IP for outgoing connections ?
I tried playing with the -ifa modifier to route, without results.
