Re: IP Aliasing on slink/2.2.12
im sure youve done this but have you updated the routing table for the new
alias ? i use a perl script to add aliases, i just enter the domains into
a file and it detects what can be added and adds them (it automatically
ignores hosts that are already bound to another machine/network) if you
want it let me know. (email directly aphro@aphroland.org or i may miss it)
