This is the 2.2 way of doing things. This has been deprecated with the 2.4 kernels (as IP aliasing was -- to my understanding -- essentially a dirty hack) for iproute2. I realize that Debian still defaults to 2.2.x for installation, but I would be also be curious to know you're supposed to bind multiple IPs to a single interface `the Debian way' without IP aliasing (with does still work with 2.4). I spent some time digging through docs when I first discovered iproute2 a year or so ago, but didn't really come up with anything. Ended up writing a script do to it for me. If anyone has any information on the Correct way to do this with 2.4, I'd also appreciate a tap from the clue bat. -- bda Cyberpunk is dead.
