Must be pilot error - I brought up a 2.2 system from scratch just
a few days ago and it's now serving about 20 virtual IPs using the
/etc/sysconfig hooks for it. Works great. The code in netstart
is only doing this:
# Check to see if aliases need to be added
alias=0
while :
do
eval ifconfig_args=\$ifconfig_${ifn}_alias${alias}
if [ -n "${ifconfig_args}" ]; then
ifconfig ${ifn} ${ifconfig_args} alias
alias=`expr ${alias} + 1`
else
break;
fi
done
No arp anywhere. Works perfectly for me.
