When I setup an ip alias in 5.2, it does not bring up the broadcast
address for the alias, and it also adds a route for the ip of the alias
interface, rather then the network that ip is on.
For example I setup 192.168.0.254 for eth1:0, I then see
192.168.0.254 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 112319 eth1:0
rather then
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 112319 eth1:0
and ifconfig shows
eth1:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:29:24:87:AD
inet addr:206.245.158.191 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:18050 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
Thanks
