It's pointless unless you do webhosting, and there are better ways of doing that eg with apache's <VirtualHost> setup.
The script you've shown should work, but a quicker way to do it would be: for ip in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... do ifconfig eth0:$ip xxx.xxx.xxx.$ip netmask 255.255.255.0 done you do not need the route add -net after each eth0 alias. > [stuff deleted] > > What I want seems to work this way, but I can't imagine that this > is the right way to do it.
