I have two NIC's. One at 10.1.16.24 and one at 192.168.1.101. I'd
like to specify which NIC to use for sending data to 206.251.75.140.
Is that possible with the route command? If so, what is the syntax.
When I use the following, pings no longer work.

route add 206.251.75.140 mask 255.255.255.255 10.1.16.24

What router is used to reach 206.251.75.140??? You can't build a route
without the router. Note, the IP# of the Router has to be the same subnet
as the Nic that uses it.

So:
route add -p 206.251.75.140 mask 255.255.255.255 10.1.16.???

You don't tell it the nic. It will already figure that out by the Router
IP# because the Nic must be in the same subnet that the Router is.

That works! Thank you.
