I have FreeBSD 2.2.5 running on a 486-66 system. This system
is running as a gateway to the Internet for my other Win95
workstations.
I have been able to setup several IP Aliases for it, but would like
someone to shed some light on these subjects regarding aliases:
1. I notice in the docs that you can set up IP Aliases in one of two
ways. Either linking them to the NIC (ed1) or to the loopback (lo0).
What is the difference between the two?
2. My goal is to set this unit up as a virtual server(s), so which one
of these methods would work best for that.
Many thanks for all the great advice so far.
