This is cool...a better way than I was thinking...I would still like to avoid having to back to the sysadmin and grovel for more ip #s...I tried making them up but that ain't going anywhere (just kidding) kp -----Original Message----- From: Darren Petersen [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 07, 2000 2:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [midgard] trying to get dns and midgard to agree on multiple namessites Are you running Linux? I'm running RedHat 6.1, and it's fairly easy to set up IP aliasing. Your network card is called eth0. The format of the command is like so: ifconfig device ip_address for example ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.2 That command tells the kernel to bind 192.168.1.2 to eth0, creating a virtual interface called eth0:0. Other aliases (virtual network interfaces) are called eth0:1, eth0:2, and so on. You have to add them to your route table so you type: route add 192.168.1.2 (or whatever your ip address is) That's it. You probably want to include these commands in a script that gets called at startup so your aliases come back next time you have to reboot, like so: #!/bin/sh ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.2 route add 192.168.1.2 I find these tricks very handy, and it saves you having funny urls with port numbers which look odd to non geeks. Also, some firewalls don't handle web servers on non-standard ports gracefully. Anyway, I like the IP alias thing. I hope this helps Darren Petersen That's all folks.
