Charles, you were right on with ifconfig not showing the alias addresses, but ip addr does.
ip addr results 7: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:40:33:37:21 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 64.21.224.240/26 brd 64.21.224.255 scope global eth0 inet 64.21.224.241/26 brd 64.21.224.255 scope global secondary eth0:1 Do I need to play with any firewall rules to be able to ping the new address? I'm using ES2B so it's kernel 2.2.16. There isn't an ip_alias.o modules included. Should I move to the dachstein normal-ipsec kernel?
