change network interface?

[Marc Powell]

Short answer: man route; read the man page, then search for 'route add' and/or 'route add default gw'.
 
Longer answer: Nagios doesn't control this, nor do any of the plugins that I am aware of. The most universal way of controlling what source IP a check uses is to route the packets out the appropriate interface on the monitoring machine. This can not be done on a per check basis but on a per destination host (or network) basis .

	I is posable to make Nagios use a differant network
	interface (i.e. hme0:1 or eth2)?
	
	I want to have Nagios run on an IP that is not the
	host IP. That way if I ever change the Nagios to a new
	host I won't have to change all the ipfilter rules on
	the remote machines.
	
	Thanks
	
	Dave
