DHCP is handy because it will automatically set up the default route and external nameserver. I let the router use DHCP to automatically assign an address in the its normal range, but then I assign static addresses in another subnet using aliases. I configure the alias in /etc/network/interfaces, but the dhclient.conf file provides another way to define aliases. -- Carl Johnson ca...@peak.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
