Hmm, quite interesting.. if there's a known bug in BIND as you say, why no one fixes it?

But afaik, there's a bug when using BIND that prevents named from starting properly when there are more than 64 aliases on an interface. Besides that, i don't think you'll have any problem using as many aliases as you want. -guido -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Noor Dawod Sent: Lunes, 12 de Noviembre de 2001 07:45 a.m. To: Ted Mittelstaedt; freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RE: Max number of NIC's and aliases And what about the aliases? How many aliases can FreeBSD or a NIC handle?

Your not going to be able to keep a bunch of NICS in saturation on a PC, espically 100Mbt full duplex ones.
