I have a remote backup machine that is on a dynamic IP address =
allocation. The address doesn't seem to change very often. However, =
after a few days from a boot, the static aliases on the LAN vanish. =
Since I only have very infrequent access to it I can't say for sure what =
happened. The logs seem to indicate that the interface went down and =
then came back up. However, some of the static aliases were gone. This =
is a bit of a guess as to when it happened. I have dhclient.conf set =
with entries like:
alias {
interface "bge0";
fixed-address 192.168.0.205;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.255;
}
I understood from the man pages that was the way to have dhclient add in =
the static addresses if it changed anything. Is there something more =
that I should have done?
