I can setup ifconfig aliases with: ifconfig de0 alias xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and they seem to work fine with two exceptions. First, if I ping the alias domain from the host machine I get dup pings and secondly I can't traceroute to the domain from anywhere on the net. Is this normal behaviour or do I need something else? Apache seems to work fine but the dup pings and the inability to traceroute seems a little "rough" at the edges. Thanks, Craig =================================================================== Orbit Systems Phone: 508-753-8776 400 Grove St. Email: craigs@os.com Worcester, MA 01605 http://www.os.com/
