SUMMARY: Dummy Ethernet interface?

From: Andrew Brennan, Lackey-at-large <BRENNAN_at_HAL.HAHNEMANN.EDU>

The question (summarized as well) :

   Why was I getting ...

> Aug 15 10:57:08 cmi bootpd[375]: ioctl(SIOCSARP): Network is unreachable
>
    ... in the daemon.log file while BOOTP serving machines outside the
    class C that my BOOTP server is located in?

The answer (shorter than my summarized question :^) :

    ifconfig ln0 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias

Thanks go to:

    I hope nobody is getting tired of this - but the signal/noise
    ratio on this mailing list is enough to make me have a hard time
    believing it's part of the Internet. :^)
