John: This is just a brief, acknowledgement reply to your email, from the person who, after discussion on the list, did that bugfix change. Others should be able to answer your query with more authority than I can. But if no-one gets back to you on this in the next day, I'll try to answer it. And if you haven't heard from anyone in two days: remind me. Meanwhile, you can read the rationale, discussion, and agreed outcome that led to that that bugfix at: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linuxha/dev/31643 I hope that explains it. Conversely, if you believe that there is a need to be able to specify not just the "base" interface (e.g. "eth1") but a specific virtual interface (e.g. "eth1:1"), could you outline this need (or give us pointers to any previous discussion of the subject)?

It's always good to see this when handling queries. Best wishes. -- : David Lee I.T.
