You need to *use* them. ifconfig ed0 203.24.16.10 alias ifconfig ed0 203.24.16.12 alias I have a class C network dedicated to VWS and tell my router that the WWW server host is the gateway for the network. In fact, all of the IP addresses (1-254) are aliases on lo0. > Does anyone see any problems with this?
