How does one do dual hosting correctly?
I have a DS20E (v5.0 1094) with a dual port ethernet card.
One, ee0, was configured using the sysman NIC setup utility
and has been running fine. I had a need to configure the second
port, with distinct IP/hostname in the same subnet, for some
high-bandwith data xfers (LAN and WAN). I set up the second
interface port, ee1, the same way using sysman NIC setup,
and no further steps. There is no routed or gated running,
just the standard default static route as everything else in
the subdomain uses. After restarting network services (and
even after a reboot) a telnet from a remote machine to this
host, to either the ee0 or ee1 IP, will hang before prompt
for username.
Previous searches thru the SUMMARYs found mention of one not
supposed to be able to assign IPs of same subdomain to NICs
on the same machine. Is this true? Then what is dual hosting
and how does one config for it?
Thanks, -Neil
