Re: Multiple IPs bound to NIC at startup




Hi,
  It may not be the most elegant way, but if your command-line ifconfig
statements work, then I would add them to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, or perhaps
put them in a separate script (/etc/rc.d/rc.local.net) which gets called
from rc.local. Whenever I add something to rc.local I make sure that I put
in some echo statements so I can see them at boot-up time.
