Looks fine to me; from your first posting, I simply hadn't sen where you were connecting up the DSL line. Whether this approach would work for the original poster is uncertain. I've never tried IP-aliasing an interface that runs PPPoE, so I don't know if the two are compatible. (With PPPoE, the eth* interface itself doesn't get an IP address; software like the Roaring Penguin package runs a PPP session on it that gets assigned an IP address dynamically.) -- ------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"--- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------
