Does your httpd.conf have a Listen * directive or does it only listen on explicit ip addresses? If you do a netstat -at, does it show apache listening on that the interface? It could also be something in your iptables. E.g. using -i eth1 for your http rule. If so, you can use the more flexible -i eth+ (or eth1+). Also, you can codify your alias, using /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1:1 -- Sean O'Connell Office of Engineering Computing oconnell at soe.ucsd.edu Jacobs School of Engineering, UCSD 858.534.9716 (49716)
