Hi All, We need to define loop-back addresses on our Poweredge 2650 boxes running Redhat 9 (2.4.20-31.9smp #1 SMP) to support DSR on our Load Balancers, but linux broadcasts the loop-back address that I am defining, thereby creating conflicts with the VIP on the Load balancer, I do the same thing on our Sparc boxes without any problems, here is a sample ifcfg-lo:0 file, so how can stop Linux from Broadcasting its loop back addresses, is there any switch that I can turn on so that it stops broadcasting . Any help is greatly appreciated. DEVICE=lo:0 IPADDR=192.168.100.21 NETMASK=255.255.255.255 NETWORK=192.168.100.0 # If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian, # you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example) ONBOOT=yes NAME=kids17-loop Kishore Jalleda -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subjecthttps://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
