Cause it's not an IP alias on an existing interface. Virtual IPs are either just a proxy ARP or a CARP address. In the case of proxy ARP, there is a daemon running that answers the ARP requests - the OS knows nothing about the address, however all that matters is that it gets to the firewall for NAT to do it's magic. In the case of CARP you could potentially get replies depending on rules (of course with a binat, those rules have to match the internal hosts IP, not the external). --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
