Hi,
when they still use ifconfig they have to serialize the startups, because with
ifconfig you must have different alias interfaces.
If they then send two arp broadcasts with send_arp (with delay of 1s) the
complete server takeover will last 3min.
To makes this faster they have to rewrite their Code to use the ip from the
iproute2 package and try to startup the IP´s in paralell.
regards,
Christian
