| |
Has the IP_ALIAS functionality been replaced by something else in the 2.4.x kernels?
Documentation/networking/alias.txt seems to imply that it still does, but the string IP_ALIAS does not exist anywhere else in the entire source tree. (Unless you count the default configs for non-i86 architectures.
There is a "virtual server" option in the kernel that ships with Redhat, but I assume that this is a patch for something Redhat specific. (It is not an option in 2.4.5, unless I am missing something.)
How is binding multiple IPs to a single ethernet card *supposed* to be handled under 2.4.x? If the IP_ALIAS option is no longer valid, then the alias.txt doc should be changed to reflect the new option.
Thanks!
