It kind of worked, in /etc/conf.d/net I have: alias_eth0="192.168.0.200" alias_eth1="192.168.0.201" But if I try to ping it, I get: PING tbird (192.168.1.200) 56(84) bytes of data. >From 192.168.1.102 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.102 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.102 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable Also, I don't think I can set tbird to 2 ip address in /etc/hosts like: 192.168.1.200 tbird 192.168.1.201 tbird So I aliased both eth0 and eth1 to 192.168.0.200, and then just have 192.168.0.200 tbird in /etc/hosts, but then how is it going to know which nic card to goto?
