Uhm depends,... does the kernel (and not just linux) somehow specially tread the "first" address... ip show addr implies this somehow, by calling the other "secondary"... if so... on could think of a special stanza for the primary... but even then I sounds a bit ugly. So probably having an "addresses" where all are specified and the first one is the "primary" sounds best. But how should one specify different broadcast addresses in such a line? And should one integrate ipv6 into it? There seem to be many further questions with the current syntax model. Like where to ideally put stanzas like dns-search. Unlike the nameservers this is often the same regardless of which interface is used... so I add them to the loopback interface. Cheers, Chris.
