First, can you bind a VPS session to a specific nic considering that you have 5 dual nics? Secondly, can you assign a different mac in each VPS session.
If I remember correctly from my work with VPC, the Mac is the same for each instance even though there are multiple instances. You use either NAT'ing or a Virtual Switch to control network flow to each of the VPS sessions. I think VMware does the same also, in that the mac's are all the same. My point, without further understanding of VPS and it's supporting software, would the mac licensing really be an issue because all the instances have the same mac? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Hedgepath" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <Declude.Virus@declude.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2004 9:12 PM Subject: Re: [Declude.Virus] Upgrade issues > I first wrote: > The use of MAC address will break my network config. > > Scott Perry wrote : > Do you mean that you have a MAC address that changes constantly?
