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?
Thanks.
