Multiple NIC's in one server

Is there a way to designate one NIC to be primary so when an application starts, it uses the the ip address associated with the primary nic? Thanks.

Yes, but that is not what you need to do. You can only specify what NIC
(actually the IP#) the App uses if the App is specifically designed to allow
you to do this. For example IIS lets you designate which website listens on
which IP# & port#. In all other cases the App will usually listen on *all*
IP#s on the port it natively uses.
