Hello,

I have a FreeBSD 6.2 server that get's his IP address from DHCP
(although this IP is static). I have also configured 3 more alias IP
addresses.

My problem is that anytime the DHCP lease is renewed (with the same IP
address always), one of the 3 aliases is lost.

Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

My setup is as follows:

the IP address that the server gets by DHCP is X.X.139.45

rc.conf
ifconfig_em0="DHCP"
ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet X.X.141.113 netmask 0xfffff000"
ifconfig_em0_alias1="inet X.X.142.124 netmask 0xfffff000"
ifconfig_em0_alias2="inet X.X.142.128 netmask 0xfffff000"

You probably want to do this either in dhclient.conf or in a
dhclient-exit-hooks script. Check the man pages to get an idea of how to
go about this, and ask on -questions if you need more help.

Also, aliased Ip addresses must be configured with netmask /32

Good luck,

Doug
