Hi Depending on the FBSD implementation of proxy ARP what you should be able t= o=20 do is the follwing add a static host route to Host B with the next hop being HOST B itself now what will happen is that as long as an host with the same IP does not=20 already exist on the real 10.10.0.x network the BSD machine _may_ answer on= =20 behalf of HOST B and as such IP communications will be established without= =20 further problems This is commonly used in large networks with old legacy equipment that have= =20 IP's hardcoded in its apps. /// Matt On Thursday 10 October 2002 10:00, Thomas Quinot wrote: > Le 2002-10-09, Bill Moran =E9crivait : > > Is it feasible to add an alias on xl0 that is in the 10.10.0.x network > > space?
