How do I bind/associate more than one ip address with my NIC.

To add these 2 very virtual ip's on eth0: echo "Listening to 295.124.143.44" ifconfig eth0:0 295.124.143.44 route add -host 295.124.143.44 dev eth0:0 echo "Listening to 295.124.143.45" ifconfig eth0:1 295.124.143.45 route add -host 295.124.143.45 dev eth0:1 HTH, Olivier -- _________________________________________________________________ Olivier Mueller - om@8304.ch - PGPkeyID: 0E84D2EA - Switzerland qmail projects: http://omail.omnis.ch - http://webmail.omnis.ch

i realise this is a bit OT but I know there are network guys on this list and I'm hoping for a quick solution. I need to temporarily host another web site on my server. I don't want to chage any DNS registrations as it's only for one day.

How do I bind/associate more than one ip address with my NIC.

I tried `ipconfig add xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx` and it seemed to work but it only works for local subnet conmnections. What am I missing?

While Oliviers solution works for you, and which I used for 2 years, I had some errors due the error-prone increasing of 2 values (Alias and IP) I use nowadays this : -------------------------- #! /bin/sh # # Author: Peter Wiersig # # init.d/local.virtualips # # and symbolic its link # # /sbin/rclocal.virtualips # # System startup script for VirtualHosts # ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: local.virtualips # Required-Start: $network # Required-Stop: $apache $httpd # Default-Start: 3 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6 # Description: Manages IP addresses on eth0 for VirtualHosts. ### END INIT INFO # Source SuSE config . /etc/rc.config # Determine the base and follow a runlevel link name. base=${0##*/} link=${base#*[SK][0-9][0-9]} # Force execution if not called by a runlevel directory. #test $link = $base && START_local.virtualips=yes #test "$START_local.virtualips" = yes || exit 0 #better enable the previous 2 lines and modify /etc/rc.config(.local?)
