Configure eth0:0 failover IP on Slackware?


Hi,

I have to configure a failover IP for a Slackware server. I know how to do this on Debian/Ubuntu, it would look something like this:

Code:
# The loopback network interface 
auto lo 
iface lo inet loopback 

# The primary network interface 
auto eth0 
iface eth0 inet static 
      	address 195.154.123.123
      	netmask 255.255.255.0 
      	gateway 195.154.123.1

auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
	address 88.190.123.123
	netmask 255.255.255.255
Any idea how this would look on Slackware? I have no idea how to adapt this to Slackware's syntax in rc.inet1.conf.

Cheers,

Niki

Use the IFNAME[n] variable to specify eth0:0 as the name of a currently undefined interface.
