You do this with the ifconfig command.. here is a small perl script I
use to handle this: (this example expects perl5 to be in /usr/local/bin)
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
open(INPUT,"/usr/local/etc/ipstohost.txt") || die("Cannot open
ipstohost.txt");
my $counter;
while(<INPUT>){
chomp;
system("ifconfig","ne0","inet","alias",
$_,"up","netmask","255.255.255.255");
$counter++;
}
print " $counter ip's aliased\n";
Just put that script in /usr/local/etc/iphost.pl
Then make a text file called /usr/local/etc/ipstohost.txt containing
one ip address per line that you want hosted (do not include your main
IP address, only virtual ip's)
and then add the following to your /etc/rc.local
echo -n " setting up IP hosting:"; /usr/local/etc/iphost.pl
That works fine for me.. :)
