I believe this is called multi-homing I've set it up with little effort on redhat boxen before.
devices are named like eth0:0 eth0:2 eth0:3 etc... you have config files for each virtual interface to your eth0 device in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ so instead of just ifcfg-eth0, you would also have ifcfg-eth0:2 and on for each ip address you need to add. add the new addresses to /etc/hosts and reboot! read docs for more detailed info it's not too bad here is a link http://216.239.57.100/search?q=cache:dW-2YnMn-IwJ:www.uit.co.uk/practical-tcpip/w-ipaliasl-005.pdf+redhat+ip+alias+eth0:2&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 On Wed, 18 Jun 2003, Michael Winslow Czeiszperger wrote: > Hi-- > > I'm working on a new feature for our load testing product and have been > stumped on a Linux configuration issue.
