Sounds like you may have DNS issues with one or more of the virtual IPs. > 2) configure the loopback interface properly. (i assign all virtual ip's > to the lo0 interface). That's actually not really a good idea. Bind them to the interface that they'll be communicating on; that way you don't need to route them. > b) it has been claimed that the virtual ip's need netmask > 0xffffffff rather than 0xffffff00. i have tried it both ways. That's also not correct. The virtual addresses need to be configured _correctly_, where all the normal rules regarding netmask overlap are followed. ie. if you have three 'virtual' addresses 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3, you would add them as: 10.0.0.1 / 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.2 / 255.255.255.255 10.0.0.3 / 255.255.255.255 In other words, you add an aliased address with the correct netmask, unless it overlaps a network previously established by another address, in which case you add it with an all-ones netmask. This is the way it's always worked on FreeBSD. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
