I'm trying to help someone set up a FreeBSD-2.1.5R system to serve virtual WWW domains (using the Apache http server) and virtual mail domains. He has registered a domain name and has a block of eight IP addresses assigned to him from a local ISP provider. He wants to connect his FreeBSD system to the provider full time via PPP, experiment w/ the web pages on the system, and do some testing w/ people accessing his over the internet. He doesn't care about the rotten perfor- mance he'll probably get during the testing phase. At some point, the system would be co-hosted. I'm stumped because the virtual web hosting seems to require alias IP addresses. I've seen this work with ethernet cards, but when I try to create alias IP addresses for the tunnel PPP device w/ ifconfig, I get 'ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address required'. I tried including the IP address of the far end of the PPP link, but got 'ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists' for my efforts. Is there any reasonable way to do this? I've looked through my FreeBSD mailing list archives, but haven't found anything helpful. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Frank MacLachlan
