Would this make these problems go away?sorry, what are the problems that you are seeing ?
They were described in the first post to this thread. Namely one of the two network cards on this machine (the one configured later) behaves eratically, is only intermittently reachable from outside, and is constantly broadcasting dhcp requests.
Yes. I have one server (firewall actually) with 8 IPs on one physical interface. It simplifies things greatly. You want to search for how to do aliases.have a look for ip (it part of the iproute package) Usage: ip addr {add|del} IFADDR dev STRING ip addr {show|flush} [ dev STRING ] [ scope SCOPE-ID ] [ to PREFIX ] [ FLAG-LIST ] [ label PATTERN ] IFADDR := PREFIX | ADDR peer PREFIX [ broadcast ADDR ] [ anycast ADDR ] [ label STRING ] [ scope SCOPE-ID ] SCOPE-ID := [ host | link | global | NUMBER ] FLAG-LIST := [ FLAG-LIST ] FLAG FLAG := [ permanent | dynamic | secondary | primary | tentative | deprecated ]
Er, why is this relevant? Sorry if I am being clueless. Thanks. Faheem.
