Hiya,

I've got a sugestion for an addition to /etc/netstart for handling
ip aliases.  Perhaps this isn't the best place to send it, but it's
most likely to end up in the core if one f you guys likes it :)

This is the addition:

# Set up all the network interfaces, calling startup scripts if needed
for ifn in ${network_interfaces}; do
        if [ -e /etc/start_if.${ifn} ]; then
                . /etc/start_if.${ifn} ${ifn}
        fi
        eval ifconfig_args=\$ifconfig_${ifn}
        ifconfig ${ifn} ${ifconfig_args}
        ifconfig ${ifn}

        # joe/pavilion/19961121: added alias code
        eval network_aliases=\$network_aliases_${ifn}
        echo network_aliases=$network_aliases
        for ifna in ${network_aliases}; do
                echo ifconfig ${ifn} inet alias ${ifna} netmask 255.255.255.255
                ifconfig ${ifn} inet alias ${ifna} netmask 255.255.255.255
        done
done


The following can then be added to /etc/sysconfig:
ifconfig_de0="inet 194.242.128.25 -link2 netmask 255.255.255.192"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"

# joe/pavilion/19961121: IP alias addresses for each interface
#       Multiple is allowed: network_aliases_XXX="194.193.24.2 194.193.24.4"
#       XXX is replaced by the interface name, eg de0
#
# joe/pavilion/19970203: This machine is now the primary DNS.
#
network_aliases_de0="194.242.128.1"


Whatcha think?

Joe.
