If you have multiple ethernet interfaces, how do you keep it from routing between them?..

Answer / stratovarius

By default, routing between interfaces is disabled on
Solaris 10. ie ip_forwarding is disabled between interfaces.

Routing on Solaris 10 is also disabled, if
the /etc/defaultrouter file exists but is not empty, ie it
contains atleast one entry.

To disable routing, you need to disable ip_forwading using
the routeadm util:

# routeadm -u -d ipv4_forwarding
