How does one shutdown a virtual network?

The following is what i use to set up the virtual network.

ifconfig eth0:0 209.52.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.192 broadcast 209.52.xxx.xxx

/sbin/route add -host 209.52.xxx.xxx eth0:0

It start this via a script.

I'm assuming 209.52.xxx.xxx is actually a host IP address and not a network address... What about 'ifconfig eth0:0 down' and 'route del -host 209.52.xxx.xxx eth0:0'? Or are there some other complications that I don't know about? Bye, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
