Hi Kugutsumen,
I didn''t get the earlier mail, where the question was posted.
at the danger of sounding presumptuous, can IP aliases help?
in the Linux''s Network Admin guide, it states that IP aliases :
"can completely replace the dummy interface and serve other useful
functions."
setting up an IP alias is the same in linux and solaris, with the
ifconfig command. eg:
#ifconfig hme0:1 172.40.30.4 netmask 255.255.0.0 up
or,
# ifconfig lo:0 172.16.1.1
hth, cheers,
sam
