Not pre-up, put them in up / post-up You can also use eth0:1 eth0:2 interface definitions in debian /etc/network/interfaces and use "-i eth0 -d $ip" in your firewall config. The eth0:X interfaces are not really network interfaces, they are just secondary ip addresses on the base interface with a different label attached to them for ifconfig backward compatibility. Example: ifconfig eth2:2 192.168.19.123 up ip addr show dev eth2 -> inet 192.168.19.123/24 brd 192.168.19.255 scope global secondary eth2:2 ip addr add 192.168.19.124/24 dev eth2 ip addr show dev eth2 -> inet 192.168.19.123/24 brd 192.168.19.255 scope global secondary eth2:2 -> inet 192.168.19.124/24 scope global secondary eth2 c'ya sven -- Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead. - Ben F. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
