If multiple interfaces have IP addresses on the same subnet and the first interface is down, communications to other addresses in the subnet may fail. tcpdump or iptrace/ipreport will show that the source IP address chosen was from the interface that is down.
Local fix
Problem summary
If multiple interfaces have IP addresses on the same subnet and the first interface is down, communications to other addresses in the subnet may fail. tcpdump or iptrace/ipreport will show that the source IP address chosen was from the interface that is down.
Problem conclusion
The code that chooses the source address for TCP connections was updated to try to find an address that is from an interface that is up if it initially finds an address from an interface that is down.
