Practically speaking, you could certainly support dozens, and maybe hundreds of addresses on a single machine. The only way you'll get any hard numbers is to run some experiments.

You setup aliases in rc.conf: ifconfig_bge0="inet 2.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_bge0_alias0="inet 2.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255" ( you need a 32bit mask on any aliases especially ones on the same subnet) then, if you do this you will see ARP complaints. To quiet that up add this to your sysctl.conf: net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface=0 Hope this helps! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
