I recently put together a Mac with two ethernet ports and an AirPort card. Is it possible to assign different apps to use different ports? Thanks in advance.

For example, can I assign Safari to use the AirPort card, Azureus to use ethernet port 1, and FTP client to use ethernet port 2?
Thanks.

It is possible (I can't tell you from memory though). However, if all of those ports go to the same internet connection, there's no reason to have applications run through different physical ports.

No, I intend to have each port connected to a different connection.

Are they both going to Internet connections? Or is only one going external and the other going to an internal network?
If it's the second case, then if you set up your network correctly each app will know what network interface to use by its IP address. i.e. FTP traffic for the Internet goes to the external connection, while internal FTP traffic goes to the second connection.

Two WAN connections and one LAN.
