I am trying to figure out of there is a way to bind the machine address BOINC uses when it launches in a machine with multiple NICs.
The new server I recently setup has 12 NICs. For routing different isolated networks and such in my test lab. When I look at the address on the details page I see "IP address 192.168.8.10 (same the last 317 times)". However I would like it to be 192.168.0.10 instead. As that is the primary network where I monitor most of my machines.

Can you set up virtual machines on this server?
I believe you can set up a VirtualBox VM to access only one NIC, run BOINC inside a VM.

I am running a few VMs on that box already, but running BOINC on the host OS. So it can have full access to all the hardware.

Add an explicit route to SSL on the interface in question. It should use that before the default route...

Great Idea...That is what I did on a school server that I worked on and it worked fine, I had forgotten that.

My main machine has two NICs and Hamachi, so 3 total. My account page shows one of the two 192.168 networks that has no internet access as the IP for it. This is because of adapter priorities. start > run > ncpa.cpl > advanced > advanced settings, and put the NIC you want to be the primary at the top of the list.
