force linux application to exit to specific ethernet port

[allegfede]

Hello.
I have a 2 port Dell 2950 server running some streaming services.

this is my /etc/network/interfaces setup file:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).



# The loopback network interface

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback



# The primary network interface

allow-hotplug eth0

#iface eth0 inet dhcp

iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.1.116

netmask 255.255.255.0

gateway 192.168.1.1

now i set it static because i need the icecast server running on this machine to be reached from external realy on server farm, who broadcasts my AUDIO streaming channel (port forwarding on the gateway).

But i have also a VIDEO streaming applicatin on that server i wish to route to the other interface (eth1 witch is no setted up at the moment).
At this time both services shares the same ADSL and that’s not good for bandwidth problems 😀

I can add this to my interfaces file:

allow-hotplug eth1

#iface eth1 inet dhcp

iface eth1 inet static

address 192.168.1.244

netmask 255.255.255.0

gateway 192.168.1.70

but need to force audio-streaming on ETH0 and video-streaming to ETH1.

Audio streaming is provided bu darkice+icecast, video streaming is asimple ffmpeg command.

thanks for the help.
Cheers,

Federico
