I'd be interested in the impact on the functionality of named, if any. Some of these aliases are primary DNS server addresses (not to mention WWW "virtual hosts") which is going to make "interesting" to change .. (read as "politically unwise" to even attempt). There is no way I can afford to split out 14 subnets with only one address in each to support a DNS and WWW server nor is it practical to stick that many ethernet cards into the box. If this is to be a permanent feature that's one less box with which I can continue to test the stuff. It will just have to stay at it's current release level .. michael
