Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Only the primary IP address will respond on the network. Why is this?? The alias IP will respond if I ping it from the box itself. But wont respond if I ping from the network its attached to or through the other nic i have in the box.. Diagram --------------| rl0 a.b.c.d (primary ip) 192.168.1.1 rl1 |----------- Internet a.b.c.e (alias ip) Internal Net Machines from the internal net can get to the internet just fine through the gateway, so I know that is set up properly. Can someone help me? This used to work.. I just cant figure it out now.. If I change my rc.conf file to make a.b.c.e the primary and a.b.c.d the alias than the reverse holds true for addresses that are accessible or not. Thanks..
