I've seen this q? in the archives but no answer ...


Does any of us have experience using more than 2 IP addresses over the
same interface ?


I've done a small test with a 2.1.0 release and an ed driver, and it
seems to work quite well with 7 IP addresses. 

Does any of you know of
- the upper limit to the nr of IP addresses per I/F ?
- possible issues ???



The goal is to have a limited number of ethernet interfaces offering
services to the apache web server.
