Kernel compile/config option: CONFIG_IP_ALIAS
(linux kernel src path)/Documentation/Configure.help ) --- CONFIG_IP_ALIAS Sometimes it is useful to give several IP addresses to a single physical network interface (serial port or Ethernet card). The most common case is that you want to serve different WWW or ftp documents to the outside depending on which of your host names was used to connect to you. This is called "multihosting" or "virtual domains" or "virtual hosting services" and is explained in detail on the WWW at http://www.thesphere.com/~dlp/TwoServers/ (to browse the WWW, you need to have access to a machine on the Internet that has a program like lynx or netscape) and also in the Virtual-Services-HOWTO, available via FTP (user: anonymous) from ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO. Another scenario would be that there are two logical networks living on your local Ethernet and you want to access them both with the same Ethernet card. This can also be done if you say Y here. The configuration of these alias addresses is done with a special name syntax explained in Documentation/networking/alias.txt and in the IP-Alias mini-HOWTO. If you want this, say Y. Most people don't need it and say N. --- After you have this enables, you can ifconfig the interface with ifconfig eth0:0 blah and ifconfig eth0:1 blah etc... Check ut the readmes they ref in the kernel doc, they explain more than my "blah" :-) -ME -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS/CM$/IT$/LS$/S/O$ !d--(++) !s !a+++(-----) C++$(++++) U++++$(+$) P+$>+++ L+++$(++) E W+++$(+) N+ o K w+$>++>+++ O-@ M+$ V-$>- !PS !PE Y+ !PGP t@-(++) 5+@ X@ R- tv- b++ DI+++ D+ G--@ e+>++>++++ h(++)>+ r*>? z? ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ decode: http://www.ebb.org/ungeek/ about: http://www.geekcode.com/geek.html Systems Department Operating Systems Analyst for the SSU Library On Sun, 10 Mar 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Can anybody point me towards a doc on binding 2 ip's to a > single interface under debian? > > It seems to me that it has something to do with > /etc/network/interfaces but I can't seem to figure out > the syntax > > -Doug > _______________________________________________ > vox-tech mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech > _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
