Now that the problem with the machine with two physical cards is solved, by downing
one card and using an alias and leaving the extra card in for a quick fix should the
active one fail, I have another problem. This may have been in the back of my addled
thinking when I decided to put two NIC's into the system in the first place.
fxp0 and the fxp0_alias are both running. I ipfw (in a client configuration) using
the IP's for both of these (or just fxp0 for that matter) and the regular netmask
(255.255.255.192). fxp0's IP works just like I would expect, but the IP address
assigned to fxp0_alias is unreachable and can't get out to the network. Does anyone
have any suggestions or tricks on how I can get the ipfw rules to work on both
interfaces??
The ifconfig's are set up so that fxp0 is IP a.b.c.d netmask 255.255.255.192 and
fxp0_alias is a.b.c.e netmask 255.255.255.255.
Thanks, in advance, for any information you can provide.
Doug
