Ip Aliasing

Dear Guys,

Have you got any idea, can i use one ethernet card with two IP (one is public and one is virtual) and running proxy server ?

I never tried this before ?

Can you give me some hunts?

hi
you can have two ip to a single card.

to assign:
ifconfig ethX:0 ipaddress netmask 255.*.*.* broadcast *.*.*.255 up

Note: ethX can be eth0,eth1 etc.

You can assign more ip's for ethX:1,ethX:2 ....... etc
regards
Mahesh

Dear bmahesh,

I understand that one eth card can assigned with two IP address, and i know how to do that.

But that is not the answer, i want to know whether when i assign virtual IP to my server which have public IP, will it work with my squid? coz squid will listen to internal IP request, so it need a VIRTUAL IP too.

Is it right?
