[lug] Binding multiple IPs to one NIC

[Chris M]

Turn on aliasing in the kernel if not already.  Then something like:

#older kernels
#/sbin/insmod    /lib/modules/2.0.31/ipv4/ip_alias.o
#
# setup the loopback, eth0 and the IP's
#
echo "Using ifconfig to setup the IP addresses for Virtual Hosts..."
/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 your.main.IP

/sbin/ifconfig eth0:154 your.other.IP

/sbin/route add -host your.gateway.IP dev eth0

/sbin/route add -host your.other.IP dev eth0:154


Please kids, enjoy this in moderation.

Happy holidays!
