The question is why you want that. > Any process running in a CT that does not explicitly bind() to a specific > address, will have the local endpoint address set to the first one in > IP_ADDRESS from the CT configuration. [1] The manual page (ip(7)) states something different. Either you pass an specific address to bind, or use some special address like INADDR_ANY. All application I know use gethostbyname to get the address (hostname + /etc/hosts). So if you application depends on the order of /etc/network/interfaces I would consider that an application error. What application are we talking about? - Dietmar _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/users
