Hi,
For a number of servers, we use IP aliases. This worked ok for quite a while but
all of a sudden, one of our nameservers (the IP address this one is known by is
an aliased address) stopped responding. Also other services on the box (like
NFS) refused to respond. But only if we tried it on the aliased address; the
main address gave no problem! Rebooting the box didn't help. At a total loss, we
had to move the DNS away to another box (other OS) just to keep working...
However, we have no idea as to why the box all of a sudden stopped functioning.
Config:
Intel Pentium/133
64Mb RAM
BusLogic 958 SCSI controller
2Gb Seagate boot disk
4Gb Seagate data disk
3C509 Ethernet
Can anyone shed some light on why this all happens?
Thanks,
Piet Honkoop
