[ofa-general] Any easy way to specify to the SM to route/zone?

I have a system w/ multipe IB cards, two ports each... I'm only
getting ~1.6GB/s out per port, so I need to use multiple ports.

I can't use IB bonding, as the scst package that I'm using that works
reliably isn't compatible w/ OFED 1.4, but it performs very well w/
the RHEL5.2 built-in drivers... but bonding isn't supported in RHEL5.2
(afaik).

I figured I could use IPoIB subnets and zone specific ports to
specific clients/initiators... but the SM doesn't respect IPoIB routes
(bring down a subnet's interface on the target, and the client can
still ping one of the target's other interfaces, even though the
client isn't configured on the same subnet).

So I need to tell the SM to route specific ports on the server/target
to specific clients/initiators.

Is there any way to do this?
