Hi: Happy new year to all including Tom! I was reading http://www.shorewall.net/OpenVZ.html and a bit confused. There are two different configs in the same page (Shorewall on an OpenVZ Host and Shorewall Configuration on the Host under working example) that confused me. Actually, I have two public IPs, but only a single hardware NIC (I assigned one to eth0 and created an alias eth0:1 to assign another public IP). Since it is a remote machine, I need one of the public IPs assigned to eth0 anyway for ssh access. Therefore, the only possibility is to route the traffic to openvz VMs through the alias eth0:1. Is routing through an alias (eth0:1) possible using shorewall? Or is there any working examples? I am using CentOS5.10. Inputs appreciated!
