Setting up a test lab and ran into a weird NFS mounting problem: [7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #0: Tue Jun 2 12:02:57 MDT 2009] denver:#ifconfig fxp0|grep inet inet 172.20.6.15 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.20.6.255 inet 116.123.45.215 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 116.123.45.255 denver:#grep cherno /etc/hosts 172.20.6.210 cherno 116.123.45.210 cherno denver:#ping -c1 cherno PING cherno (172.20.6.210): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 172.20.6.210: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.363 ms denver:#showmount -e 172.20.6.210|wc -l 8 denver:#showmount cherno|wc -l ^Cdenver:# it fails to 'showmount' via hostname. On the NFS Server/on cherno:: 10. 014455 00:02:b3:89:82:6e > 00:b0:d0:79:f0:e0, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 98: 116.123.45.215.994 > 116.123.45.210.111: UDP, length 56 Why is it trying to use the other IP/entry from the hosts file? Now, if I remove the "public" ip from the interface: denver:#ifconfig fxp0 -alias 116.123.45.215 denver:#showmount -e cherno|wc -l 8 Then if I add another subnet to fxp0 it still works: denver:#ifconfig fxp0 alias 116.123.45.15/24 denver:#showmount -e cherno|wc -l 8 Then it fails again: denver:#ifconfig fxp0 -alias 116.123.45.15 denver:#ifconfig fxp0 alias 116.123.45.215/24 denver:#showmount -e cherno|wc -l ^Cdenver:# Now uncomment the public IP from /etc/hosts: denver:#grep cherno /etc/hosts 172.20.6.210 cherno #116.123.45.210 cherno it still has the 'evil' public ip: denver:#ifconfig fxp0|grep inet inet 172.20.6.15 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.20.6.255 inet 116.123.45.215 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 116.123.45.255 denver:#showmount -e cherno|wc -l 8 denver:#netstat -rna Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 522 lo0 172.20.6.0/24 link#2 UC 0 0 fxp0 172.20.6.210 00:b0:d0:79:f0:e0 UHLW 1 31 fxp0 569 172.20.6.213 00:03:47:e8:4e:11 UHLW 1 1264 fxp0 91 116.123.45.0/24 link#2 UC 0 0 fxp0 116.123.45.210 00:b0:d0:79:f0:e0 UHLW 1 1 fxp0 1136 It seems if the alias IP on fxp0 is from 116.123.45.192 -> 223 it fails, and does not even try to use the 172.20.6.X... ssh/ping/file server/ftp/etc - Everything else works fine using /etc/hosts and from there it is using the 172.20.6.X network, only NFS wants to use the 116 network....
