Mandrake 6.1
I've added an IP alias using linuxconf->Networking->Server Tasks->IP aliases
for virtual hosts. I see that it has added the file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 and this script contains the
option ONBOOT=yes along with the ip address, netmask, etc. Also, I have
made sure that IP aliasing is compiled into my kernel.
The address isn't getting configured in the boot (I can't ping it).
However, if I manually ifconfig eth0:0 n.n.n.n it works fine. Arent the
sysconfig scripts supposed to do this for me? Do I need to configure this
in rc.local? Do I need to set up any static routes for the aliases? In the
IP Aliasing mini-Howto it shows setting up static routes but the syntax
shown is incorrect.
Thanks to this list for all the help you've been giving me...
