Hi All,

> IP (alias) adress. That works perfectly, BUT the nameservice do not
> respond on the alias adress.

Thanks to
Arrigo Triulzi <arrigo_at_lpac.ac.uk>
Kevin Oberman <oberman_at_nersc.gov>
and Bodo Gelbe
who solved the problem.

The solution was to use better versions of named and named-xfer
that are able to handle two adresses on one interface.
