Is there any way to get an IP alias on an interface, without it being announced to arp queries? Eg. I have 10.20.40.65 as a load balanced adress over machines at 10.20.40.50 and 10.20.40.51. As far as I am aware, for the linux box to accept the traffic, it needs to have an alias for that IP (the load balancer is not re-writing the headers, its just throwing it at a different MAC), so I have configured eth0:1 as the ip of the virtual IP. This will work fine for machines on the other side of the load balancer (alteon), but since the machines answer arp queries for that IP, any local machines will not work. Moving the network around physically (my prefered answer) is apparently not an option, so I need to disable the arp answers for the load balanced address. The noarp option does not seem to work on an alias, only on a primary interface. Any suggestions?
