Well, it does not seem to cater for people like me who have an entire
Class C network aliased onto lo0. I'm sure there are plenty of other
ISPs running lots of VWS on a single machine. Even when I exhaust the
current class C net, I won't be putting in a new machine for the next
lot, I'll just have 508 aliases instead of 254. I certainly don't fancy
a line
network_aliases_lo0="{insert many lines of IP addresses here} "
in /etc/sysconfig.
How about a scheme whereby the aliases are read from /etc/ip.aliases.lo0
