	You can change your default route, of course, but doing so
won't prevent the following types of traffic from using iprb2 as
a source interface.

-	Packets destined to an address on the network to which iprb2
	is directly attached.  (I can't imagine why one would want
	to prevent this.)

-	Packets destined to an address/network which matches an entry
	in the routing table pointing to a router on the same network
	as iprb2.  (If you don't have any explicit routes in the routing
	table -- other than the default route and the "interface" routes,
	including those for ibrb2 and iprb4 -- then you won't see this
	happen.)

	That said, I think simply changing the default router will do
what you want.  See the man page for defaultrouter(4) for how to do
this.  Also, netstat -r displays the current routing table.
