In order to do that, psybnc needs to use that specific IP when connecting outside to the IRC server. I don't see how different ports will change this situation. Nambased vhosts work for web, I guess, but not for IRC. Let one correct me if I am wrong. Thanks for all the replies. 240 IPs is far enough. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Anton Alin-Adrian" > To: > Sent: 27 May 2004 14:03 > Subject: how many IP aliases > > > >>Hi guys. >> >>Can anyone tell me what is the limit for how many IP aliases can be setup >>on the same ethernet card? >> >>Is there a global limit for the total number of aliases in the OS? >> >>To be clear: one needs 128 IPs (for irc vhosts) to be setup on one server. >>Is that impossible? > > > > ================================================ > This e.mail is private and confidential between Multiplay (UK) Ltd. and the person or entity to whom it is addressed.
