Hi All:

I recently upgraded to 2.2.1 from 2.1.5R and now am experiencing the same
problem as Paul is, where the current host can not ping or traceroute to
any aliased IP address, but can be reached from any external host.  So
while it works, it just doesn't work from the host where the IP was aliased.

I have other boxes that this is not a problem for which is also running
2.2.1 that were upgraded from 2.1.5.  What didn't get updated when the new
binaries were installed and the kernel rebuilt?  This is a big pain in the
ass that I'd like to get resolved.

Thanks for any help.
Mark
