Hi BlueOnyx experts.  Maybe one of you know a resolution to a IP Addressing 
problem.

One of the companies has a bunch of BlueQuartz servers that they've got me 
converting to BlueOnyx.  But BlueOnyx has the IP addressing issue BlueQuartz 
had.  Specifically, whatever IP address you put on the box (eth0) - it copies 
that same netmask to the IPs for the sites.

Since this company wants to keep all the "box" addresses in a similar network, 
they have a /28 network for their virtual servers.  Then they assign a class-C  
/24 block to the sites on each server.  The problem is the BlueOnyx keeps the 
same /28 subnet mask on the subinterfaces for the sites.  And that means that 
we loose the ability to use two IPs out of every 16 (its considering one of 
them a network identifier and one a broadcast).

So, what I'm looking for is a way to set the netmask on the subinterfaces for 
the sites.  In the past, I've spent a lot of time going through each 
ifcfg-eth0:xx with VI correcting the mask and broadcast IPs.  Then to prevent 
the system modifing those interfaces again the next time a site was added - I 
had to set the immutable bit on them.  Which of course means that I'm the only 
one that can delete a site - because I have to turn that off first.  Not a good 
fix.  But I don't know any other method.

Does anyone know how to change the netmask and broadcast on all the 
subinterfaces - and get the management GUI to use something other than what is 
assigned to eth0 (when creating new sites)??

Chuck
