What do you mean by that? I've noticed in my testing that on
occasion, trying to connect to an alias address from a remote Lynx
client would result in a "Network error" (connection closed by peer,
or whatever Lynx calls it). However, those appear to be related to
errors in my httpd.conf setup and not necessarily ifconfig.
I just remembered something... a host with multiple aliases cannot
reach itself via those additional addresses. Is this a bug? I can
ping/telnet to any of the aliases from a different machine, but not
from the same machine to itself (via an alias).
