Hi,
If you do this, are all packets transparently routed between the aliases, or do you have to use masquerading, with all the potential protocol problems, and port forwarding?
I think iptables didn't work with interface aliases because a iptables command on a alias produces a warning like this:
~> iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -i eth0:217 Warning: wierd character in interface `eth0:217' (No aliases, :, ! or *).
Hmmm, Kai, I think you are wrong. Shorewall specifically supports proxyarp which allows you to alias your external nic and handle multiple IPs there on. -- _________________________________________________ No I Don't Yahoo!
