Hi,     
        At one of our servers here, we have about 11 ip adresses
        allocated to it.

        However, when I try to add an additonal interface, the server
        cannot traceroute to anywhere anymore.

        In particular,  the last couple of entries in the routing table
        look strange:

        100.100.100.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0 26201 
eth0:11
        100.100.100.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0 2233 
eth0
        127.0.0.0         *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0 0 lo
        default           our.gate.way.ip 0.0.0.0         UG    1      0 13866 
eth0:11

        where 100.100.100.0 is our entire network. eth0:11 is the last
        interface we added in /etc/init.d/network. With this, everything
        still works fine.

        Now, when I add an additional interface, eth0:7 which isn't used
        before, the routing tables change to the following:

        100.100.100.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0 0 
eth0:7
        100.100.100.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0 26251 
eth0:11
        100.100.100.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0 2233 
eth0
        127.0.0.0         *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0 0 lo
        default           our.gate.way.ip 0.0.0.0         UG    1      0 16 
eth0:7


        And the machine can no longer traceroute to anywhere.

        Could anyone please tell me how to change it to use eth0 for
        default instead of 11 or 7.

        Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Shao.
