I use lo0 for my aliases, but then I have aliased an entire class C network with the web box as the "gateway" to that net. So I don't need the ethernet interface to arp for the IP address. If you are just using spare IP addresses from your ethernet network, then you will need to be able to arp for the IP's. Danny
