There is no facility in FreeTDS to control which interface is used. I cannot offhand think of any way to control that using the standard socket interface i.e. connect(2). That sort of thing would be governed by the routing tables within the machine hosting the FreeTDS application. If I may ask, what prompts you to introduce a firewall between your webserver and your database server? Surely the database server is on a network not accessible from the outside? --jkl
