Hi,
I've discovered a strange behavior, maybe it's supposed to be like this, but
it seems unusual/strange.
ifconfig dummy 206.223.93.1
ifconfig dummy:0 206.223.93.2
ifconfig dummy:1 206.223.93.3
etc...
ifconfig eth0 198.182.196.32
ifconfig eth0:0 198.182.196.33
I can ping eth0 and dummy, no problem. 100% packet return. I can (from the
machine in question) telnet to either of those IPs. What I can't do is telnet
or ping any of the aliases!!
ping 198.182.196.33 == 100% packet loss
ping 206.223.93.2 == 100% packet loss
If I go to another machine ANY other machine, I can perform the above
functions.
Kernel is 1.3.84.
Is something missing/broken in the alias code?
Mike was here...
