what are the implications of binding more than one IP addresse on the same NIC card.( unlike having a multihomed gateway or bastion host). each interface of NIC could be binded to more than one IP address....but why ?[ this is often done by ISPs whom i cantacted lately and they said that this way they could host more web servers on the same machine, instead of having a different host. each ip addrress mappeed points to a different directory ] but what about the setting of the rules about Network access and Network address translation etc. how would they respond to such a scenario. please email me a ccof your responses as i am working on such a scenario and how it would compromixe security. thanks in advance tally jones _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
