I have no doubt my knowledge is antiquated. I've been dabbling in linux since perhaps the late 90s, and university unix mainframes long before that, but purely dabbling. I'm sure much of what I "know" I probably should unlearn. Mentally crossing out ifconfig and circling iproute2... By "virtual device", I had run the command: sudo ifconfig eno1:0 NewIP This created a new fixed IP (within my home network) for the server box that I could address remotely. Hitting the server on NewIP brought me to the same pages I would have seen had I used OldIP. So from outside the server, NewIP and OldIP are mirrors of each other. I have 2 IP addresses, but they both reach the same box identically, like I had 2 boxes running the same software. Using iproute2, I used: sudo ip address add NewIP/24 dev eno1 label eno1:1 As far as I can tell, the result appears identical to the ifconfig result, but glad to know and use the new and shiny tools. The NewIP is present and accessible from other machines within my local network, however it serves pages and acts indentically to OldIP. Because NewIP is bound to the same ports as OldIP, I couldn't run the reverse proxy from NewIP:80 to OldIP:9000. I THINK what I want to do is create a NewIP that looks, feels and acts to outside machines as completely separate from the OldIP. NewIP should not be bound to any ports initially. Then I could bind a new reverse proxy server and map port 80 from NewIP to port 9000 in OldIP. I have done exactly this using independent servers so NewIP is fully disassociated with the OldIP NIC. I'm just trying to find a lighter weight manner of achieving this. My suspicion is this is extremely easy once I know how, and if I knew how to ask the question better, it would be easier to get the answer, too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wactuary's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=233 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113639 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
