Date: 29 Nov 1995 10:09:24 GMT Organization: Direct Network Access Lines: 12 Message-ID: <49hbgk$le@hilbert.dnai.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: sol.dnai.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (X11; I; SunOS 4.1.4 sun4m) X-URL: news:comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc/10040-10139#49bi4e$e01@awfulhak.demon.co.uk Well, Paul Ioannidis' vif package of kernel mods works on SunOS and HPUX 10, so I assume that it wouldn't be unusually hard to fold them into FreeBSD-2.1, but I wondered if anyone had already done so... For those unfamiliar with vif, it is a way to run multiple Virtual Domains in a slightly cleaner way than using ifconfig alias and proxy ARP. You can do things like "alias" an entire Class C range.
