Hi

I set up a VMware machione running Unbunta with 4 NIC's

What I wanted was for the box to apeare as 4 seperate physical webservers. So I intended to assigen a seperate IP to each nic all from the same sub net

how ever as soon as I do this the network stops working ?

The server can ping the DFGW from on NIc but not the others?

can any one help is setting this up.

4 nics one sub net?

Cheers

    With aliases, mind that their addresses can only be statically assigned. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

    oh i am playing with F5 loadbalancing, so I just setting up 8 websites each serverd by a seperate IP address. serving a slightly diffrerent home page.

    then i can set up the F5 to use various methods and see what it returns.

    Using virtual sites in apache and ip alies I can potential have a few hundrad simple virtual web servers to play around with the load balancing.

    They all want to be statice any way so it is a perfect solution.
