[squid-users] Multihomed Squid Box

Hi All,

I am running Squid on FreeBSD with two NICs.
Lets say for example, NIC1 = 1.1.1.1 and NIC2 = 2.2.2.1.
And my default gateway is 1.1.1.2 (the gateway (router) also has an IP
address of 2.2.2.2 but we use 1.1.1.2 as the gateway)
I have bound Squid to the 2.2.2.1 IP address.

When Squid goes and requests something from the internet, how can I be
sure that it will ONLY be received/downloaded by NIC2? Does the binding
affect this? Or is this a kernel thing (I would need to run BGP or
something?)
Thanks!

Best Regards,
Andrew
