For that I use the "post-up ip address add ..." lines too. On an external gateway I have multiple lines like that to get all the ip-numbers up for which that interface handles the incoming data. However, if he wants A LOT of extra addresses that might change too, maybe some script that runs after the interface is up would be better. That way the script could use a database in whatever form to handle that. Then he could use just a post-up /etc/network/lots-of-addresses.sh start and a pre-down /etc/network/lots-of-addresses.sh stop line in the interfaces file. If each address is to have its own vlan then it is still doable but a bit more complex. I have never done it that way, I have had only a few different vlans that I was able to declare in the interfaces file. Bonno Bloksma
