Hi guys. Chalk one up for the good guys. I convinced management to let me set up a freebsd box for virtual web hosting when we discovered we were over our licensing on our BSDI servers. Quick question: When setting up virtual hosts on BSDI, I use this type of setup ifconfig lo0 alias <ip quad> and then a arp -s blah blah blah Now from what I see in the freebsd list and such is that to set up the ip situation, I just need to do this in the rc.conf ifconfig_vx0_alias0="inet <IP QUAD> netmask 255.255.255.0" I note two major differences here, first the bsdi aliases the loopback where freebsd does a direct alias to the network device... also bsdi wants me to do an arp -s... Do I need the arp entry for freebsd? The answer to my question would be nice, but I am also very interested as to the "why" of the answer. Which method is best?
