Hi all, I've got a question about IP aliases in different subnets. Since around 4.5-RELEASE, the subnet mask of an IP alias is now supposed to be 255.255.255.255. This is fine if all of the aliases are in the same subnet as the primary IP address for the adaptor. My question is what happens if I have a primary address with a different subnet mask to the alias? What should I be using as my subnet mask for the alias in /etc/rc.conf For example: Primary Address - 192.168.1.129 netmask 255.255.255.192 First Alias - 192.168.1.193 netmask 255.255.255.224 Thanks in advance. -- - Wayne Pascoe - http://www.penguinpowered.org.uk/wayne/ Yoohoo...
