Error when using secondary IP in RH AS4 U3 for PE1850 with DRAC.

[Hans_Chen at Dell.com]

Eclark,

Thanks for your quick feedback.

My issue is the eth0:1 does not work.  The output of ifconfig for eth0:1 is abnormal.  

What I am trying to do is to bind mutilple IP address in eth 0, then assign IPs to Apache virtual servers. 

B.R.

Hans;
   Im not sure where you see an issue. The output:

eth0:  1500   0     - no statistics available -                        BMRU

is correct. If you are trying to do accounting, you will not be able to use kernel routing tables. You will have to roll your own via tcpdump or the likes. What exactly is your issue, and what are you trying to do?
