We are setting up our first web server under FreeBSD 5.1. Everything is going well except that adding virtual host IPs takes a very long time. We have timed it at 7 minutes to add 255 IPs. This seems to talk far too long and makes reboots very long processes. Our "start_if.em1" file is as follows: ifconfig_em1="inet 216.145.105.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" ifconfig_em1_alias0="inet 216.145.105.4 netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_em1_alias1="inet 216.145.105.5 netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_em1_alias2="inet 216.145.105.6 netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_em1_alias3="inet 216.145.105.7 netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_em1_alias4="inet 216.145.105.8 netmask 255.255.255.255" ... (etc.) ... Adding aliases from the command line takes an equal amount of time (about 2 seconds per IP). Both methods do work and no error messages are produced. Is this normal or are we missing something??? Gary Bannister NetAccess Systems Inc.home | help
