The "easiest" way is to read this... /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases The create a file called... /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0-range0 Containing something like... IPADDR_START=xxx.xxx.xxx.131 IPADDR_END=xxx.xxx.xxx.191 BROADCAST=xxx.xxx.xxx.191 NETWORK=xxx.xxx.xxx.128 CLONENUM_START=1 NETMASK=255.255.255.192 #NO_ALIASROUTING=YES This has been around forever, but is very hard to find if looking for it. The ifup-aliases script has lots of comments to help you understand what to put in. -- Brian Ashe - CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC. http://www.dee-web.com/
