This would be helpfull.  I can probably send everything display related to a single ethernet interface.  Move the wireless interface over. A lot of routers block multicast by default and getting them to pass multicast is very hit and miss.  I just want to keep as much of the multicast stuff off my LAN.

Where would I look to set this?

Also, then in the E1.31 controller setup I set 10 universes??

I have been running Vixen since 2007.  Everything is DMX controlled. I want to convert the display to xLights.
I have 3 ethernet interfaces on my display computer.
one for wired ethernet, static IP, multicast to 2 noname e1.31 sACN to DMX interface Bridge.  for 8 universes.
one is wired to a display dedicated WiFi Router for numerous ESP32 controllers receiving wireless DMX and driving various pixel fixtures, minitrees, coro snowflakes and stars and strands.
one is wired ethernet for my home network for remote control and internet accesss.

In setting up a multicast E1.31 controller I don't see a way to direct the controller to a particular ethernet interface.
Universe 1 - 8 go to the static ip interface labeled (ethernet) in windows to multicast to the 2 Bridge interfaces.
a different channel map universe  1 and 2 go to the wifi interface labeled (ethernet 2) in windows for the pixel controllers
Is this possible in xLights?

Thanks.
