Way back when we worked on "ISP/ASP Solutions", I described using the dummy network device to create an interface that looks like a VIPA interface. Unfortunately I don't think I went to the next step of advertising that interface using a dynamic routing protocol -- this is where Zebra/Quagga comes in as Adam suggests. The other side of VIPA is the SOURCEVIPA function, where you make your outgoing connections appear to come from the VIPA address. The src_vipa wrapper, available for download from the Linux/390 DeveloperWorks site (where the kernel patches come from), works nicely for this. Cheers, Vic Cross PS: Thanks for the kind words, Alex!
