Routing NFS traffic over a specif interface...

       Hello,
I have a Sunfire 280R (Solaris 8) with two ethernet interfaces:

    eri0 - hartley
    hme - nfs

They are assigned seperate IP addresses and both interfaces work (can ssh to
either and both respond to ping, etc.). One of the purposes of this server
is to act as an NFS server. I want all NFS traffic routed throught the hme0
interface (nfs). So on the the client machines I mount NFS using the nfs dns
name:

   mount nfs:/u7 /u7

it works in the sense that the file system is mounted. The funny thing is
that when I monitor network traffic:

    netstat -I hme0 -i 1
& netstat -I eri0 -i 1

it is clear that the network traffic is flowing over eri0. Any ideas on what
is causing this and how to fix it? How do I route the NFS traffic over one
interface. Any diagnostics to try? Something I do in the share command on
the server in /etc/dfs/dfstab?

Will summarize.

Sincerely,

    - henrik
