Why does that not work? It has been working for the last 2 years on my server! /etc/sysconfig/network-devices$ ll drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 72 2006-06-04 01:38 ifconfig.eth0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 72 2006-06-12 13:57 ifconfig.eth0:0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 72 2006-11-28 01:15 ifconfig.eth0:1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 72 2006-11-28 01:11 ifconfig.eth0:2 -rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 2.6K 2006-06-03 22:38 ifdown -rwxr-xr-- 1 root root 2.5K 2006-06-03 22:38 ifup drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 2006-06-03 22:38 services cat ifconfig.eth0/ipv4 ONBOOT=yes SERVICE=ipv4-static IP=62.141.58.93 GATEWAY=62.141.58.65 PREFIX=26 BROADCAST=62.141.58.127 cat ifconfig.eth0\:0/ipv4 ONBOOT=yes SERVICE=ipv4-static IP=62.141.59.93 #GATEWAY=62.141.58.65 PREFIX=26 BROADCAST=62.141.59.127 etc. As far as I can see, there is no need to change anything in the scripts. Its enough to mention this possibility in the book. A change in the scripts is only necessary if you insist on wanting to use names which don't conform to "ethX:Y" - ie. aliases. The question is why bother since you don't have any added functionality by using aliases other than nice names?
