Restricting FTP to a single IP address

[leblanlj]

On an AIX server(4.3.3) with two or more ethernet adapters, is it possible to force file transfers to use a specific adapter / ip address?

We have several remote users that usually all play nicely together on a T1 line between two cities - until someone does a large file transfer, which kills the response times for everyone. Setting up a second route should be no problem, as long as everyone uses it.

We need to disallow ftp over the high-priority day-to-day ip address, and allow it only over the lower-priority address.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
