rc.conf update with interface alias

hello,

I'm using interface aliases on eth0 to host different virtual hosts with SSL cetificates

my rc.conf config was like that :

eth0="eth0 IP1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast IP1"
eth0_0="eth0:0 IP2 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast IP2"
INTERFACES=(eth0 eth0_0)

gateway="default gw IP1_GATEWAY"
ROUTES=(gateway)

but since the deprecation of net-tools and the new syntax for rc.conf I'm not sure how the aliases should be defined.
I read this page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rc.conf but I'm not sure if I have to use Netcfg now or if I can use the Single interface way and if so what would be the syntax?

thanks for your help

Re: rc.conf update with interface alias

from reading the wiki for rc.conf it looks like you need to setup netcfg profiles for each of the interfaces and add them to the

#NETWORKS=(main)

line in rc.conf

Re: rc.conf update with interface alias

I don't think there's any 'wanting' involved here. Devs have taken that decision, and either you work with it or you start hacking around.

Re: rc.conf update with interface alias

Read the ip manual and add the relevant commands to your /etc/rc.local.
The syntax should be something like the following (I haven't tested it):

ip address add dev eth0 local IP1/255.255.255.0 broadcast IP1
ip address add dev eth0 local IP2/255.255.255.255 broadcast IP2

Very constructive.

Thank you, I'll try to do something in this direction.
