Almost never. The only time I've ever done this was when a network interface on a machine failed and I had to use a different interface temporarily before the hardware was repaired. Mind you, I've always regarded it as a bug that you have to specify the physical interface in the configuration rather than just assigning an address and letting the system find the correct interface for you. That's for physical interfaces; I occasionally have to add extra IP addresses to a zone, using ifconfig to add them on the fly and zonecfg so they stick at boot. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
