Hi: Is it possible to have an application like ping or telnet iterate through IP addresses for a given hostname, if a previous attempt fails? For example: in /etc/hosts: --------------- 0.0.0.1 testhost 0.0.0.2 testhost 0.0.0.3 testhost --------------- If I attempt to 'ping testhost', and the first entry (0.0.0.1) fails, is there anything to configure which would allow an automatic attempt to ping 0.0.0.2? Is this possible? Thanks Eric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
