But seriously, have you cranked up logging in SIMS and checked what
it says at startup? There should be something like this, but with
your IP's and names:

01:31:23 4 SMTP Got new Local IP addresses, n=1: [192.168.254.8], [0.0.0.0],
I cranked up logging to All for the General Server and for SMTP, and
yet SIMS doesn't seem to give any acknowledgement of its IP
addresses, unless I missed a setting...
That's weird. It's the SMTP module logging that, and it should do it
on every startup.
Interestingly enough, this time, I now seem to be able to connect to
port 8010 via the secondary IP address, but not via the primary set
in the TCP/IP control panel. Perhaps under Mac OS 9.2.2's OT, that
just isn't very stable. I've used multiple IP addresses before on
OS9 but those times used the same gateway or were for one upstream
and one local network...
I suspect something more deterministic. Have you tried flipping the
way you assign the addresses and seen if you end up with the
misbehavior following the address?
I have tried adding multiple IP to my OSX server running CGPro, but
the secondary address won't connect to outside requests. My
understanding form reading Sustainable Softworks's webpage, it seems
OSX's setup routes all packets to the default (i.e. first) gateway:
"The Mac OS X network stack uses a single default gateway to route
packets that cannot be delivered directly. "
MacOS X should not be relevant here, since its networking subsystem
is a completely different beast from earlier versions. You're not
trying to do this in Classic are you?
(If the answer is "yes" then I'll stop. Classic for daemons is a
level of hopeless I can't focus on... )
So that would explain why I couldn't create dual access via both
upstream networks on the OSX machine, but could get local access on
the secondary IP. Looks like I will have to dust off my old
ipnetrouter license and upgrade. I've order USB to ethernet dongles
so my iMac and mini can have dual ethernets. Sustworks' Peter has
kindly put up GPL drivers for two chipsets of usb to ethernet
adaptors.
I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from tossing money at Sustworks,
but on those machines you might find wireless more stable and
higher-performing than a USB-Ethernet gadget.
