Here is what I'm thinking, route would be setup like so... Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Then when the alias is set up, dose that change the localnet route to point at eth0:0? I can't reproduce any thing like that on my setup 2.6.0-test9-1-386. --- Tarragon Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- Tarragon Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Wednesday 24 December 2003 08:23, Matthew Whitworth wrote: > > > > I have a host (eth0 = 10.0.30.251) to which I recently added a virtual > > > > interface (eth0:0 = 10.0.30.249).
