Description reinier 2003-10-14 15:50:20 UTC 
	tftpd confuses clients on multihomed hosts:
	When the tftpd receives a connection from the client it answers on a new
	connection. This connection is bound to INADDR_ANY. On a multihomed host
	the routing may select another interface closer to the client as its source
	IP address. This confuses the client (they are trivial afterall!) because
	it may think the reply is coming from another host.
	This enhancement extracts the original destination IP address on a multihomed
	host from the first arriving packet, and uses that as the ip address to bind
	the new connection to.

Fix: Patch /usr/src/libexec/tftpd.c with this diff -u: (diff.out.gz.uue)
How-To-Repeat: 	Connect from a tftp client to the IP address of an interface on the server
	host that is not the closest one to the client. The return connection will
	have the IP address of the closer interface.
	You can watch this with tcpdump.

The patch attached to the PR is horrid and needs much improvement.
Off to look at something else...
