Hello, I have a box that once had two IP addresses on one interface. I deconfigured one of them using ifconfig -alias.
Now, when I want to use any (?) program on that box to go over this interface, it wants to use the addresses which is no longer present. I double-checked to ensure that there is no NAT in the way, and also used all netstat and ifconfig otions I know to convince myself that the old address is gone. I also tried to 'ifconfig ifname inet the-one-and-only-address' just in case there would be a different handling of addresses assigned with and without using -alias, but to no avail. What could that be, and why can't I see this address anywhere? I'd rather not reboot only to make a change in IP numbers effective... Best, --Toni++
