I'm trying to add a second IP address to the eth0 interface. Having done a lot of searching, it seems that the traditional method is to add another interface called eth0:0 with the second ip address. This works fine as a one-off, but if I try to make it permanent by adding a /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0:0 directory then it doesn't come up on boot.
The only reference I can find in LFS documentation is in the Changelog for LFS-BOOK-6.1-pre2 which states "January 5, 2005 [jeremy]: Minor textual correction in network configuration, since iproute will not recognize the old eth0:1 format for ip aliasing. Closes bug 1013." So, can anyone tell me the 'new' method?
