Nope....

Work only .49 and .50

I bought 8 public IP-s ... so 8 IPs have to get work.
In the hosting specification this IPs is usable with xxx.xxx.xxx.48-55 
with subnet mask 255.255.255.255 with no gateway.

As I sad, works perfectly with this command (8 times, of course :) ):
#ifconfig eth:(0 to 7) xxx.xxx.xxx.(48-55) netmask 255.255.255.255

Thanks

Levi
