You will need to use iproute2 (by Alexey Kuznetsov) to assign extra IPs to a single interface (device). ip address show or ip addr show will show all the interfaces and their layer2/layer3 info. "ip address add ..." will let you add addresses. "ip -help" will give you all the options. hth, Aamchi Mumbai. -- Ranjeet Shetye Senior Software Engineer Zultys Technologies Ranjeet dot Shetye2 at Zultys dot com http://www.zultys.com/ -- The views, opinions, and judgements expressed in this message are solely those of the author.
