Re: Two addressess for a single eth

[Prakash Advani <prakash@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Sunit,

Linux does support multiple IP addresses on a single ethernet card and
works a lot better than NT. Some version of NT that I had used had a
Limit of only 16 addresses per ethernet card, I don't think Linux has
any such limitation. One of the Websites hosted on Linux have over 400
IP addresses in the same server!

Regards
Prakash
