I don't know as there would be anything special about "fedora". The usual way is to cobble up a fresh script in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts for the second address, and use not eth0 but eth0:n(where n=1, 2, 3, etc) in that particular ifcfg-eth(n) script. Then bring it up, or do a 'service network restart'. There is a section in the manpage for ifconfig? on how to do that IIRC. One could run an instance of iptables to connect two different subnets that way, but I'd think it wouldn't take a hacker long to figure out a way around that. OTOH, I sometimes ran my office machine that way, using the eth0:1 as a path into the local net when I actually had an outside, dns registered address. I also ran portsentry for a guard dog/notifier and while hosts.deny looked like the LA phone book, nobody ever actually got in that I didn't give an account to. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
