Hi all,

I need to be able to have multiple IP Addresses for an ethernet
interface.  I know it can be done, as I've seen discussion about
whether people should do it with dummy interfaces or with the
IP Alias patches, but I can't find any current information on how
to do it (the IP Alias patches I found were for 1.2.x where x is
a low number).

So, if someone has the IP Alias patches for 1.2.11 (with
instructions), or some explanation of how to use the dummy device,
then please tell me about it!  (yes, I've looked in the HOWTO's I
thought were relevant, but found nothing)

Thanks in advance,
