Currently it has about 120 servers running with more being added every day 9or so it seems)! man ifconfig and checkout the 'alias' bit. Also, it is possible that the previous sysadmin used the "/etc/sysconfig" file to ensure that the alias IP addresses are added to the appropriate network device at boot time. > > Ed Okerson Tony
