Vineet, The reason this is happening is because of your Gateway numeric order. Each time you add in an IP on the adapter, and a new Gateway IP, then it will increment +1 numeric for each Gateway. The highest ranking gateway will be used first, have a look at the adapter settings and have a look at the Gateway settings. In answer to your questions, its not possible to pick and choose which Gateway you wish to use, unless you write an application to use a different numeric/search order listed gateway.

Whenever i make connection outside say for www, pop3, whatever, the main IP is being used to make connections to the foreign server. What if, i want to use other IP's (on my server) on my choice to make outside connections? Can this be done?? if yes then how? One sol i think is that change the default eth0 Ip and use others as aliases. but this requires manual steps. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
