Hello, Maybe this has been addressed before but I was wondering if it was possible to create a TCP alias without using the ethX:0..1..2..3 interface. The problem is that I need these interfaces to behave like a real eth0. For example, it is not possible to execute a dhcpd server with eth0:0 as an argument, it doesnt work. I know there is a dummy interface but if I recall all it does is eat packets to simulate a link. Is there a way to redirect a dummy interfafce towards a particular eth.. interface? There is also the vmnet modules from vmware that simulates a real network card, but I dont think that these drivers are GPL'ed. Has enyone worked on redesigning the aliasing code so that it behaves more like a real network interface?
