Date: 25 Apr 1996 04:16:32 GMT Organization: Concentric Internet Services Lines: 38 Message-ID: <4lmub0$f8q@tribune.concentric.net> References: <317E4080.41C6@marben.be> NNTP-Posting-Host: viking.cris.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I'm currently running 57 aliases on one ethernet card under FreeBSD 2.1R with the Apache Web server. I too, would like to know the upper limit of aliases. I would also like to know how to use a different Class C on the card from the primary one as we are running out of ips on the first Class C. The ifconfig alias command doesn't appear to work with more than one class C.
