Only if you also use ifconfig and want to avoid being confused. ;-) > Unless someone knows problems that will be introduced, Can't say that I do. It just seems like every page I've read on adding extra IPs says "add an alias", and it doesn't look like anyone knows that you only needed to do that with ifconfig; you don't need the alias anymore. I figured it'd be a bit of education, but in all honesty, it doesn't really matter very much. > I'm gonna go ahead and try to get Andy's patch adapted to ipv4-static > and get a blurb on ALIAS in the book.
