Hi all, Well, I've got my shiny new line installed and am starting to configure my servers. At the moment, I'll have multiple services running on some boxes, i.e. mail and web on the same box. I was thinking that it might be easier in the future if I ran these services on separate IP's, so that I can easily move them to dedicated boxes when required. My question is, is there any performance hit for IP aliasing as opposed to just running both services off of the same IP. I don't imagine that I'd see any performance improvement with this, but will I lose out. Would I see a remarkable improvement if I were to add multiple NIC's (something I'd prefer not to do right now, just to avoid the tangle of wires growing to unmanageable proportions, if nothing else). Is there strength to my logic, or am I being silly here? TIA Tom Wiebe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
