Solaris gethostbyname and roun robining

[Richard Hopkins]

Hi all,

  The Solaris man page for gethostbyname includes...

"The system will strive to put the addresses on the same sub-net as that of 
the caller first."

This means that round robining doesn't strictly work as you might expect 
(or want). Does anyone know if there's a way to get Solaris not to prefer 
addresses on the same subnet, but to treat all as equal?

Cheers,
