indeed. i figured that out the hard way on 2.2 with ipchains. iproute2
didn't seem to provide the functionality i needed either. does 2.4 and
netfilter help any with splitting up ips on aliases from their underlying
device?
i think what i was trying to do at the time was masquerade 2 internal ips
through 2 separate ips which were eth aliases, but it would actually
rewrite the packets using only the first external ip and not the second,
as ipchains didn't have that aliases functionality. (to provide an
example). if that makes any sense without further clarification...
-tcl.
