Greetings, I've always maintained at least a /24 since the early 80's. I'm now evaluating a new ISP, and am not ready to commit. Until then I'll be forced to use DHCP. My problem is that they are really mercenary about their lease(s) -- ~24hrs! So, given that I am treating the assigned IP(s) as pseudo-static, I would prefer not to bounce the box(es). I currently bounce them alternating rc & hosts, etc. I can easily switch configs "on the fly" by restarting network & related services, but am looking for a _graceful_ way to re-start the network. I see /etc/netstart, but it looks a little more /brutal/ than I was hoping for. Any and all suggestions _greatly_ appreciated.
Thank you for all your time, and consideration. --Chris _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
