Hi,
I now know that a named works on a virtual IP. At least it does under
Linux if I configure the interface as follows (on Linux 2.0.7):
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.192 broadcast 194.64.170.63
/sbin/route add -host 194.64.170.41 dev eth0:0
Unfortunatly, I can't get this IP aliasing to work under FreeBSD. If I try
to set an alias w/ FreeBSD and specify a netmask other than 0xffffffff, I
get:
# ifconfig de0 194.64.170.16 alias netmask 0xffffffc0
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists
# ifconfig de0 194.64.170.16 alias netmask 0xffffffff
works fine, but then a named won't respond on that interface.
I would like to stick to FreeBSD for our DNS, so maybe you have a
solution.
Thanks, Ulf Schmidt
