RE: multiple IPs on one netcard

["Paul Miller" <paul@tcimet.net>]

Is it possible to have Linux split up the bandwidth automatically on aliased
IPs?

The HOWTO only covered static IPs, it is possible to use dynamics as well?

Thanks

This is called IP-aliasing.
Try reading this document:
http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/mini/IP-Alias

btw.. it's always good to look at the documentation at:
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/ (there are also mirrors)

rather before asking on a list, but before. :)

hope this helps a lot,

PS I think you can also look at: www.linux-howto.com (it's a lot easier
to remember and it take a load of the other documentationservers).
