Date: 10 Dec 1994 16:05:39 -0700 Organization: DahlinSmithWhite, Inc. Lines: 13 Distribution: world Message-ID: <3cdc83$ml3@giant.dswi.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: localhost.dswi.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I have heard that NetBSD supports the "ifconfig alias" command, which will allow multiple IP numbers to be assigned to a single machine. I would like to know what limitations there are to this, as far as how many IP numbers can be assigned to a single machine, any restrictions on what those IP numbers may be, and any restrictions on how those IP numbers can function. I'd also like to know which of the *BSD OS's this is supported in (I was told NetBSD 1.0, but about FreeBSD?). Thanks. Pete Kruckenberg pete@dswi.com
