Hi, in the past I have been running freebsd-2.1.6 and decided to upgrade one of my web servers to freebsd 2.2-GAMMA, the upgrade went fine except for 3 single i/p aliases that I had that were all bound to ed0 ie. ifconfig ed0 alias a.b.c.d netmask 0xffffffff ifconfig ed0 alias e.f.g.h netmask 0xffffffff etc. After rebooting with the 2.2-GAMMA kernel ony the first of the 3 aliases could be pinged. I played around for a while with no luck so I tried binding the 3 aliases to the lo device instead of ed0 and all worked fine. I am happy to leave it that way but I would like someone to share any ideas as to what happened between 2.1.6 and 2.2-GAMMA to make the original config break. The upgrade technique I used was to install all the 2.2-GAMMA source tree and do a make world then rebuild the kernel. - Ernie.
