On Fri, Jan 03, 2014 at 11:13:25AM -0600 I heard the voice of Mark Felder, and lo! it spake thus: > > Commit this and I'll buy you a beverage of your choice the next time > I run into you :-) I have webservers with a hundred or more aliases, > each followed by a comment like: > > ifconfig_em0_aliasXX="1.2.3.4/32" # customer or vhost name That may suggest even moving it away from numbers, so you could rack up ifconfig_em0_alias_annoyingcustomer="1.2.3.4/32" and the like instead. Would even open up future possibilities through rc for running a single one of the aliases, which would be handy as a double-check when you add a new one to a running system. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
