Multiple ip addresses same card

[frharris27]

I just upgraded from FC4 to FC5 and I'm having a problem getting multiple ip addresses to work on the same card. It's a very odd problem. I think it has something to do with routing and the gateway because the 2nd ip address works inside the same subnet, but when it's confronted with a packet to send outside the subnet, it chockes. For instance I can ping it inside the subnet, but not outside.

Here are my config files. Ip addresses are not correct, but show what's going on.

ifcfg-eth0

# VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II]

ifcfg-eth0:1

Your IP addresses are very important here; you appear to be trying to create two interfaces on the same subnet. Make sure this is what you really intend...

Think about which interface you'd want to use to send a packet to the local subnet, and which to send to the Internet. Then maybe we can work out your network structure...

ccrvic, thanks for replying. I need two public ip addresses on the same machine/subnet because I want to host 2 https sites. The ssl protocol requires a different ip address for each ssl host name. The ip's I gave above are comletely analogous to my own. This setup also worked well with FC4 and the same hardware.

I think it may be either the nic or selinux. I just noticed from my logs that the nic is not running correctly, only half duplex and 10 Mbps.

May 9 06:06:10 bulldozer kernel: eth0: link up, 10Mbps, half-duplex, lpa 0x0021

I also get an selinux error message right about that time.
May 9 06:06:10 bulldozer kernel: SELinux: initialized (dev rpc_pipefs, type rpc_pipefs), uses genfs_contexts
May 9 06:06:13 bulldozer kernel: audit(1147179973.417:2): avc: denied { unlink } for pid=1602 comm="depmod" name="modules.pcimap" dev=dm-0 ino=22806579 scontext=system_u:system_r:depmod_t:s0 tcontext=root:object_r:modules_object_t:s0 tclass=file

Also, there's this message here about the via nic.

May 9 09:48:04 bulldozer kernel: 8139cp: 10/100 PCI Ethernet driver v1.2 (Mar 22, 2004)

I'm going to try another nic and without selinux tonight, but the server is being used today.

Thanks.
