I have a Debian Woody stock os running 2 3Com 100Mbit NICs.
I setup both the nic on the same subnet mask ie
nic1 ip address 192.168.1.143 nic2 ip address 192.168.1.142
The reason is to separate the separate the nic for different service, sharing the load.
For NIC1 I ask Asterisk to do its business on 192.168.1.143. Netstat shows that the IAX is listening on 192.168.1.143.
For the other NIC, I want to use it for terminal services.
Netstat does show that both nics are up

0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
But doing a arp -a it shows that both ip addresses only lead to 1 mac address which the NIC1.
What I have done wrong here? Why pinging 192.168.1.143 and 192.168.1.142 from another machine only lead to the same nic with a single mac address?
