You're right, that option is not available on Solaris. I'm assuming you<br>
have the problem within a <Server /> block. If you need the "Interface"<br>
option within a <Listen /> block, could you please elaborate why
you<br>
need it?<br>
<br>
The common way (and the reason why this option is rarely used) is to let<br>
the operating system chose which interface / source address to use. It<br>
usually does this using the routing table.<br>
<br>
An alternative for Solaris might be to add a "BindAddress" option
to<br>
<Server /> blocks. This is something we would need to add to the<br>
sources, though -- there's no code available currently.<br>
<br>
Last but not least: The node name given is passed to getaddrinfo(3). It<br>
*might* be possible to add the interface name to the address, for<br>
example to use IPv6 link-local addresses. I have absolutely no idea if<br>
this would work with other addresses as well, and I'm certain that using<br>
link-local addresses is an "interesting" (read: bad) idea. But
if you<br>
must try, it should work somewhat like this:<br>
<br>
Server "fe80::d55f:1534%eth0"<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.. Regards,<br>
