To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org (bsd) Date: Fri, 7 Feb 1997 17:22:46 +1000 (EST) Cc: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org (FreeBSD ISP) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL22 (25)] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Before I go trashing a whole system, does anyone know if the following is possible. server, acting as a secondary for the Primary DNS. IP=203.1.96.5 gateway=YES kernel gatewayforwarding enabled. virtual-host on that server ifconfig blah blah 203.1.96.4 pppd (kernel ppp), myaddr: 203.1.96.4 In other words, can I turn the server .5 into a machine that also runs pppd, with pppd thinking its on .4, because I have ifconfig setting up a virtual or alias host? or... Should I turn .5 into a Virtual-Server, and rename and re-IP the physical, true machine to be .4, running pppd? The PPPD _must_ run as .4. There is no option there. any ideas if this will work.
