We need to add an additional IP address to provide an additional SSL certificate on a different Apache2 virtual host.
2) Should I use the ip-alias facility for doing this? I found mention on one post that since kernel 2.4 this facility has been superceded by features in the firewall. Not sure how, nor could I find any hints. I can only answer your second question. To add more than one IP address to a SuSE box, edit /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 and modify it to look
Markus,
Thank you for the reply, however it does not appear to work for me. I issues an SuSEconfig and then did " rcnetwork restart -o
type=eth". The conents of my ifcfg-eth1 (eth0 is not used) and output of ifconfig are below.
BTW: I did not realize that my email client should wrap outgoing text. I had been taught to let the receiving client format it
according to user preferences. If this really causes my posts to be hard to read, then obviously I should change it. Yes, I am using
Outlook, but soon will be on a new Mac with OS X, which is at least a littel better than Windoze:)
Thank you - Richard
