I am in a situation where I am trying to server PPP from a NetBSD-i386
box (currently 1.0, soon to be 1.1). I have 10 interface configured,
and this seems to work fine. But when I increase the number of
interfaces above this number, ifconfig says that the interfaces past
the first 10 are not configured. Is this a limit in the implementation
or is there another thing I can tweak in the kernel to increase this
limit?
While I am here, I might as well ask, what is the maximum number of
aliases you can have on a single network interface? Is the alias
mechanism a linked list implementation, so there is no real limit?
