True. Conversely, it also makes sense to have each interface have a unique name as well, eg foo-eth0, foo-eth1, etc. There are often cases where it's very useful to be able to reference a specific interface directly -- to force specific network paths, or to do traffic isolation. It's also really handy when defining HA groups or VIPAs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
