Betr.: [CentOS] Multiple IP Addresses in a single NIC

[Joao Medeiros]

I've made the changes to my Firestarter rules as suggested by Alexander and
I can now access my web server running as a virtual host from my desktop.
Here's what I had to change:-

In my /etc/firestarter/user-pre file I've added an entry like:

# eth1:1 is the alias on top of eth1
$IPT -A INPUT -i eth1 -j ACCEPT

Thanks for your help folks.

iptables isn't able to handle aliased device names (like eth0:0), so you
will have to use IPs in your rules rather than device names (like -i eth0 -j
ACCEPT).
