Does anyone know how I could have up to >12 IP's configured on one box (short of having 12 ethernet/slip links in >there)? What's the problem with ifconfig alias? From looking at the code, the limit on the number of addresses you can have is based on kernel malloc memory alone. I've heard from people with 235 addresses or so on an interface. I've got a dozen or so addresses (for virtual web servers) on my ed0, and it works all right. cjs -- Curt Sampson curt@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
