Date: 18 Apr 1996 16:50:02 -0500 Organization: /usr/lib/news/organi[sz]ation Lines: 15 Message-ID: <4l6dea$mn9@Mars.mcs.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: mars.mcs.com I am in the process of switching internet feeds and thus need to change my IP numbers, including that of my nameservers. During the switch I will have two routers connecting to the old and new addresses. Would it be feasible to connect the routers to the same ethernet and alias the nameservers' interfaces so they will respond to the new network address as well as the old one? Then after the rest of the world starts connecting to the new nameserver address I can switch everything else over. Or do I need a couple of other machines to make this work? If it will work, is there documentation for configuring multiple class C network addresses onto the same interface? Les Mikesell les@mcs.com
