i have found that setting: arpproxy_all="YES" in /etc/rc.conf seems to take care of the problem. my virtuals all have a /24 netmask (since they are part of a block treated as a /24) and there does not seem to be any problem "finding" the virtual hosts from either the local host, other hosts in my net, or from the internet. cheers, jeff On Tue, 21 Dec 1999, Roger Marquis wrote: > On Sat, 18 Dec 1999, jesse reynolds wrote: > > arp -s 203.1.2.3 00:80:5f:84:5d:63 > > The only problem with this is that it will break if you ever change > the NIC. > > > Now, my question then becomes, what is the best way to fix this on > > startup, so that all services come up normally that rely on this ip > > address... > > As was mentioned earlier, adding "route add <virtual_ip> 127.0.0.1" to > the /etc/rc.local (or /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.local) seems to work. > > > is it a bug in 3.3 perhaps that it doesn't happen automatically? > > It's a bug that has always existed in FreeBSD AFAIK.
