Hey guys,

I have a multi-homed system with 8 different IPs running servers 2003. I was wondering if there was someway to bind all programs of a certain user to a single IP.

So say i have my primary IP .1 and by default all programs will use this. Is there a way I can get user x's programs to automatically bind to a different IP, say .2? Or similar situation but prevent programs from binding to all avaliable IPs.

Thanks
 
I think that would depend on the software and how it interfaces with the network operatinos on the computer.

 
Yea I know certain applications can be configured to bind to certain IPs. But I was wondering if there is a way to restrict access to IPs so a certain user can only access one IP.
 
After doing further research, I believe this is possible by use of a tcp wrapper of some form. If someone could shed some light on the situation that would be great :)
 
By the way, im now quite happy just to have it so i can control how a single application binds to an ip, not neccessarily everything a user runs. Hence my above post ^^
