Thank you very much Finn-Arne.

Everything did work very well by hand but when I rebooted only eth0
and eth1 have been configured (and are visible with ifconfig) and not
dummy0, while the module dummy has been well loaded. If I just do by
hand "/sbin/ifup dummy0" the server answer very well. Without that, it
is "lost" ans very unresponsive.

Why is it not configuring dummy0 and what do I have to do ?

Thanks,

Nicolas
