Subject: virtual domain hosting


Hi.

I have a Linux 1.3.97 Server and try to use virtual domain hosting.
I've compiled my Kernel with Dummy Devices as described in the 
NET-2-HOWTO. When I try to setup a dummy Device like 

ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.1

it looks like: 

> ifconfig eth0:0 194.120.137.4
SIOCSIFADDR: Invalid argument

Does anybody know this Problem?

------------------------------------------------------------

Kernel is compiled with CONFIG_NET_ALIAS:

> cat /proc/net/aliases 
device           family address                                
> cat /proc/net/alias_types 
type    name            n_attach

documebntation at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking is  current,
and  short , to the point.

I have kernel 2.0.8
I have compiled  with IP_AALIAS  maybe NET_alias
I  did  use  modules
and it  worked  forme.

I  found  documenation on Virtual  web misleading, I did not check net-2

I hope this make  sense

Mustafa Akgul

Did you patch the ifconfig as well ?
