Am I correct in inferring ( not assuming no! ) that once a carp iface is created we can not add aliases to them?

I can add alia to a carp iface by adding alias statements to hostname.carp



fw1:root:/etc #ifconfig carp1
carp1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        description: virtual if for all internal traffic
        carp: MASTER carpdev em1 vhid 15 advbase 1 advskew 100
        groups: carp
        inet 198.160.35.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 198.160.35.255
        inet 198.160.35.24 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 255.255.255.0
        inet 198.160.35.25 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 255.255.255.0
        inet 198.160.35.30 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 255.255.255.0
        inet 172.17.9.34 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 172.17.255.255

but afterwards when I ... well this:


fw1:root:/etc #ifconfig carp1 alias 123.32.217.21 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig: SIOCAIFADDR: Can't assign requested address




Is there a way to add addrs without having to destroy and recreate the iface?
