As I know, applications can not select route for each packet. (May be it's possible somehow do that on Vista.) OS answers for routing, and it use defualt gateway to send a packet. U can only change default gateway.

Hi, Please understand that a certain application would choose to bind to all adapters or one certain adapter by itself. This is determined by how the application was written. On the platform side, however, we are unable to limit the application to go through a particular adapter. Some method such as firewall or IPSec can block the application's traffic on one certain network, but it would not make the application choose another adapter As a result, whether the application would choose one network or not totally depends on the application itself. If the application is unable to choose the network, then platform could not force the application to choose one certain network. Thank you for your understanding.
