huh? hell no.
OK, but all examples show it as such in man(5) hostname.if and such.
Your network card is configure with the IP 172.12.96.5 and you want
to have on the same network card the IP 172.12.101.5 and
172.12.126.5 working right?
Then enter it with the /32 netmark. Not relevant what subnet it is
in really. Make sure your router, or what ever in front of that box
point these IP's to your box here.
NO!
OK!
At the price of making a fool of myself, witch wouldn't be the first
time and most likely not the last either! If they need to be, that's
news to me and I have been wrong for many years then. Sure possible,
but as I said. I never did and I may have been wrong for many
years...
well, you have been wrong all the time then.
yes I have been! And thanks for correcting me on it too!
one IP per subnet with the real mask so there is a route, all others
with all-ones netmask.
That is no where to be find in the FAQ even if that absolutely logical,
no question about it. I really read FAQ religeously and never got that
understanding from it as as shown I sure didn't do it on many servers
for many years too. If I could suggest, just adding to the FAQ exactly
your text as above would have eliminate that mistake for me and
eliminate that recurring question as well looks like as I am not the
only one missing the point here.
Would that be possible.
Again thanks for taking the time to correct my multi years and recuring
errors here.
Best,
Daniel
