Reindl,
A block of 10 IPV4 is not a lot, and they will all eventually be used. My question is, my server IP is 66.80.x.x and my additional IPS are in the 50.7.x.x range using a netmask of 255.255.255.248.
Can the netmask be written in the range file like it is in the ifcfg-eth0:0?
Reindl,
Please do not top post.
255.255.255.248 gives you a total of 8 IPs, not 10, of which usually you loose 3 for the network, broadcast and gw addresses. You can assign those 5 in a range file without problems, you can also specify the netmask like in a "normal" cfg file. It shouldn't be needed to specify other settings.
Where I work we'd route the additional subnet through the IP you already have on the server, thus allowing you to allocate _all_ 8 IPs as a range on the loopback interface with a /32 netmask. See if your ISP can do this for you.
