I had a similar problem in trying to connect to a service, but found out that aliasing an IP didn't add the arp entry in the routing table (local connections were failing). If I added the arp entry by hand, everything was happy (is IP aliasing a part of the scneario you're describing?). arp -s a.b.c.d 00:60:08:aa:aa:aa pub arp -s a.b.c.e 00:60:08:aa:aa:ab pub A tad annoying, but it seems to work (yeah, I know about the ethers file, but I refuse to use it). -sc On Fri, May 11, 2001 at 11:43:00PM +0000, Terry Lambert wrote: > I have run into two issues, that I find really, really annoying.
