I haven't run that many, but I don't think it will be a problem. According to this wiki, you just duplicate the device files in the sysconfig directory. http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Multiple_IPs I'd add to that, that you probably only want 1 default gateway (or none, if you use a routing protocol directly). I have a Fedora C4 DNS & DHCP server with 2 network cards, using VLAN to have an IP in each of my networks - about a dozen virtual interfaces & IP on each NIC. I've noticed no problems related to that. _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
