Rotating IP Addresses

[HullKR]

Is it possible to set up a hostname with more than one IP address ? I need to load share to a service which runs on a NT Server, what i would like to do his use one Hostname, which would then rotate between two or more IP addresses.

umm ... one hostname to 2 ip's isn't possible, however if that isn't what you are after, and what you want is two ip addresses for one host then:

assuming that /dev/hme0 is your networking device and that the address you currently use is 10.10.0.1/255.0.0.0
and you want to pretend to be 10.11.0.1/255.0.0.0 then typing in:

ifconfig hme0:1 plumb
ifconfig hme0:1 10.11.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 up

will get you the second address for your solaris machine.
