Thanks to Bruce Platt for the prompt response:
SOLUTION IS:
It is really quite simple, here is an excert from the /etc/rc.config files
on one of my machines:
NUM_NETCONFIG="5"
MAX_NETDEVS="24"
NETDEV_0="ln0"
NETDEV_1="ln0"
NETDEV_2="ln0"
NETDEV_3="ln0"
NETDEV_4="ln0"
NETDEV_5=
NETDEV_6=
NETDEV_7=Hello!
IFCONFIG_0="www.xxx.yyy.zz1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
IFCONFIG_1="www.xxx.yyy.zz2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
IFCONFIG_2="www.xxx.yyy.zz3 netmask 255.255.255.0"
IFCONFIG_3="www.xxx.yyy.zz4 netmask 255.255.255.0"
IFCONFIG_4="www.xxx.yyy.zz5 netmask 255.255.255.0"
The www.xxx.yyy.zz1 - .zz5 correspond to the 5 IP addresses I want to use.
Note that the NUM_NETCONFIG parameter specifies the number of virtual IP's
you will be using.
the NETDEV_X parameter specifies the ethernet interface to "bind" these to.
You should also look at the /usr/sbin/rcinet script and the scripts
referenced therein to see
what the os does with this information.
After you have changed your /etc/rc.config, just do a /usr/sbin/rcinet
restart.
My original Question:
->
->We have an Alpha 4100 running UNIX 4.0D.
->
->How do I setup virtual IP addresses on UNIX 4.0D?
