I use the dummy module, as it allows me transparent use between 1.2 and
1.3 kernels. I won't use ipalias unless it is an integrated part of the
kernel; I don't have time to chase down whatever patches are required to
do ipalias against whatever kernel.
You need the modules-1.1.87 tools to do this; sunsite will have it
somewhere.
Compile the dummy as a module, then do a "make modules_install" on
the kernel.
Put the lines below in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 ABOVE the ethernet config lines;
this must be done before the ethernet is ifconfig'd. Repeat ad naseum for
more IP addresses by incrementing the count on dummy.
# Attach subsequent IP addresses for additional domains
/sbin/insmod -o dummy0 /lib/modules/`/bin/uname -r`/net/dummy.o
/sbin/ifconfig dummy0 111.222.333.444 arp
/sbin/route add 111.222.333.444
/sbin/arp -s 111/222/333/444 00:00:xx:xx:xx:xx pub
