But it obviously is for Atanas, who has 100's of aliases.


In my case, it isn't 100's, but the problem is noticeable ... I have my start up scripts, right now, do the ifconfig, sleep for 45 seconds, and then start up the jail ... and even then, apache doesn't *always* start up, since sometimes that isn't long enough for the network to come back up for DNS to be reachable :(

The thing that have to ask is if Atanas has 100's why can't he just boot Freebsd have have them all prebound to the interface at startup, why would you need to add and remove them constantly by the hundreds during normal server uptime?

I do restart my jails now and then, but because the IPs are already bound to the interface I don't have any pause issues.
