Joel said HTML was badly formatted, so I'm resubmitting in plain text.
Thanks :)
New issue seems to be at hand...
I set the alias for the interface to be the gateway IP (10.17.56.12),
and then I was
able to add that as my default gateway. Not sure why aliasing wouldn't
work with
10.17.56.11 or some other IP in that subnet.
I tried to ping the DNS server after that, and watched hundreds of
corrupt packets
get sent out with no replies.
So my new question is, which part of the system actually builds the
packets ? Any
way to debug or log that process ?
Here's an example taken from ethereal output.... (view with proportional
font)
---------------------------------------------------------

Why I think this packet is malformed.....
First of all, protocol type Unknown (0x05f4) looks definitely bad.
Secondly, protocol type looks like part of my NICs MAC address
(52:54:05:f4:21:3f
according to ifconfig, which translates into hex: 0x5254 05f4 213f).
Thirdly, source address decoded by ethereal (and probably by any other
packet
processor) is wrong (first two bytes are carried over to the other
side).
Now, keeping all that in mind, lets do a pattern match on the REAL MAC
address in
hex dump of the packet.
HEY, the source address actually starts four bytes later than it should,
thus
shifting the TRUE protocol type (0x0800 = IP) as well.
First six bytes are the destination MAC, then come the EVIL 4 bytes,
followed by 6
bytes of source MAC.
I don't know what's going on, but looks pretty bad, yet simple on the
hex level :)
Any ideas ?
