device? --

Using eth0:0 is normally a method to setup eth0 to respond to a 2nd
IPV4/IPV6 address. Have you done the ifconfig steps to enable that? If
its been done, you will see it's 2nd address in an ifconfig query. Man
pages are wunnerful things.
yes I have done that and the address is responding, problem is it has been email
blacklisted
$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:.......4 GB)
Interrupt:16
eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWa.......
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
......
The problem is as stated in the original email; when I try to execute the
commands to bind to that device I get an error eg
# ~rptlab/tmp/proxy/bin/python
Python 2.7.5 (default, Aug 20 2013, 15:27:38)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
from socket import socket, SOL_SOCKET
BIND_DEVICE='eth0:0'
sock = socket()
sock.settimeout(10)
sock.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, 25, BIND_DEVICE)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/rptlab/LOCAL/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 224, in meth
return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)
socket.error: [Errno 19] No such device
so I guess I'm not using the right name for the device. I tried a leter python
3.5 in case my python 2.7 is too old, but that also fails.
