Greetings All, Is it possible to have multiple IP addresses on one machine without having multiple ethernet cards.. Once I wrote a note about setting up user www pages, this question started a thread about how to configure your system as a new sysop, Anyways, people where talking about having different domain names IP addresses on one machine so that when you outgrew it, it wasn't a big hassle to change. Here is the deal, We want to have one computer (for now) that runs DNS, WWW, FTP, TELNET, POP, PPP and anything else. We have a 2 mbit IP Feed, and will be the only service providers in the country (Alania, part of the Russian Federation). That means we will be the only providers in an area of about 2 million people. We want to have www.rno.ssc.ac.ru mail.rno.ssc.ac.ru ftp.rno.ssc.ac.ru telnet.rno.ssc.ac.ru dialup.rno.ssc.ac.ru admin.rno.ssc.ac.ru All running on one machine, whith the ability to expand and move each service to it's own machine without having to have all the user change thier configurations. I would assume it would just be a matter of putting multiple names in the /etc/hosts file and using the same IP address for the every aliase. (How would this look? would I put a local host entry in front of every aliase?) But moving the service from this machine would have to change the ip, is there anyway to aliase IP addresses and have that address move with the aliased hostname? Those replying, (I'm not on the list, to this address) plase send your address, We'll send 500!!!! Russian Rubles for your answer <grin> Thanks a Million, Dave
