All,
We are running MQ series 5.3 on solaris 9. We are also running veritas clustering on two boxes, and I used the MQ supportpack for Veritas. We have a floating ip setup between both servers. Which is a virtual ip assignend to the primary nic. So for example

box 1

eth0=x.x.x.42
eth0:1=x.x.x.48(floater) if this node dies will float to box2 on same eth0 device and ip

box2

eth0=x.x.x.43

x.x.x.48 has a public ip x.x.x.13. We allow outgoing traffic thru the firewall
on port 1420 via sender channel to another qmanager which is beyond our firewall. It seems the reply to qmanager is on the x.x.x.42 address and not the x.x.x.48(or whatever way mq uses to get back to the requester.) When the packets come back they try and come back to x.x.x.42 and we dont want public IP for that address. So the packets going out come from x.x.x.42 and we want them to go out on x.x.x.48, is there a way to specify mq to bind to x.x.x.48 when sending out on the sender channel?
