Hello everyone,
Just was wondering about setting up virtual hosts on NIC cards on my
FreeBSD box.
I read the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-virtual-hosts.html
Seems simple enough, but I seemed to be having a bit of a problem.
For instance, I had this in my rc.conf:
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.1.91 netmask 255.255.255.0"
and tried to add this:
ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet 192.168.1.75 netmask 255.255.255.0"
Two questions here:
After you made a change like this, how do you restart it without having to
reboot? There a way to do this using ifconfig?
Secondly, I rebooted my machine after testing this out, and it appeared to
hang. When I looked at the console, it was stuck on the 'hostname' part.
I'm currently looking for additional information to see what I did wrong,
but thought i'd ask here to see if someone can point out my error.
I appreciate the help.
Jason
