Hi,
i'm trying to use t_relay_to_tcp() on a machine with several IP addresses on just one ethernet interface.
SER seems not to set the source address of the TCP connection, so the OS (more or less) randomly chooses one of the virtual addresses on the interface, which makes in turn filtering based on source ip address a B<- (pain in the a** ;).
Is there any way to configure SER 0.8.12 to use a specific source address in outbound tcp connections (it works for udp, though)?
thanks

No. Ser will try to reuse a tcp connection, but if it has to open a new one it won't set the address of the TCP connection (IIRC there were some discussion about this recently on serdev).
I will fix it sometime in the near future, but I don't think I will backport it to stable (unless lots of people test and it proves not to brake anything).
