Redhat 4.2 has ip_alias.o module, which allows multiple
ip addresses on one ethernet card.
I can insmod it by hand and it works. I've looked at
the modprobe documentation, and got the ethernet driver to
install automatically at boot. I did not understand how to
cause ip_alias to be installed using modules.conf (unless I
create a false alias for it and that is automagically
loaded).
This is a production mail machine in an office environment,
so experimentation is frowned upon.
What is the best way to get the ip_alias inserted during
boot up? would it be before, or after the ethernet card?
Also, do I create an ifcfg_eth0:0 file in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts to get the second ip address
to work automagically, or do I change the
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/xxx files to do this? (most of which point
back to /etc/rc.d/init.d) (Which of these files would be
best if in rc3.d?)
thanks!
