Thanks for the concise summary of the issue! My searching didn’t turn up the Debian bug, but did turn up your page and it was a huge help.

Fyi, dnsmasq’s TFTP server does support multi-homed servers, but it doesn’t support ipv6. If you need both multi-homing and ipv6, I’ve had luck hand-applying the patch from the debian bug thread above to the latest tftpd-hpa.

Just a quick correction about dnsmasq. It can use either of the two approaches to UDP source control that you describe. By default it does the IP_PKTINFO thing (and its equivalent for the other supported platforms) but can be configured to use the multiple-socket solution with –bind-interfaces.

HTH
