Now, I'm confused. Reading Admin Guide (SuSE 9.3, dead tree version), on pages 434-435 there is a sample listing of DNS config, and there is (lines 12-13 of the listing):
gateway IN A 192.168.0.1 IN A 192.168.1.1
Then, on page 436, in the explanation of lines 12-17 there is: "Two IP addresses are assigned to the host gateway, because it has two network cards." Is it wrong documentation, or I miss something?
That configuration will make anyone using gateway.x.x alternate between the two addresses. It's occasionally useful for round-robin style load-balancing.
Imgaine you had two web-servers, one on 192.168.0.1 and the other on 192.168.1.1:
www IN A 192.168.0.1 IN A 192.168.1.1
With this you'll get the load distributed about 50/50 over the two servers. (note: only good for serving static pages).

So, wrong docs, hmmm. I'll check the 10.1 docs as well. -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Windows is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit graphical shell for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
