You can _add_ an entry with the additional IP-Address, but /etc/hosts is only used for the specific host. If you want other computers to resolv the new name as well, you either have to edit /etc/hosts on every computer, or you have to add an entry to the corresponding named files. (Hint: DNS) See man hosts man named man named.conf man named.reload man ndc man ifconfig Regards, Holger Kipp -- Holger Kipp, Dipl.-Math., Systemadministrator | alogis AG Fon: +49 (0)30 / 43 65 8 - 114 | Berliner Strasse 26 Fax: +49 (0)30 / 43 65 8 - 214 | D-13507 Berlin Tegel email: holger.kipp@alogis.com | http://www.alogis.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
