In order to configure the lance ethernet (le0) device to support more than one ip address, do the following: 1. Create entries in /etc/hosts for each hostname your physical machine will appear as. 128.195.10.31 myhost 128.195.10.46 myhost2 128.195.10.78 myhost3 2. Create /etc/hostname.le0:n files that contain the hostname for the virtual host n. Note that hostname.le0:0 is the same as hostname.le0 /etc/hostname.le0 (Contains name myhost) /etc/hostname.le0:1 (Contains name myhost2) /etc/hostname.le0:2 (Contains name myhost3) The above changes will cause the virtual hosts to be configured at boot time. You can also directly enable/modify a logical hosts configuration by running ifconfig directly on one of the logical hosts by using the le0:n naming scheme. % ifconfig le0:1 plumb % ifconfig le0:1 up % ifconfig le0:1 129.153.76.72 % ifconfig le0:1 down
