[KLUG Members] re: One way connection through two NICs

[Bert Bbbink]

No you can't. Although stateless, ip traffic does have a protocol to set
up an connection. That connection is bound on one ip stack only.

If you want to send -batch like- data I suppose you could do something
like you want. By -batch like data - I mean you send a request to an
application on you two system nic. its processed, and an answer is send
out at a later time.

Then just define an host gateway; eg someting like
"route add -host <target system> gw <ip address of second nic>
Ip trafiic should leave youre system via the second nic, while it can
receive via the first.
