Multiple IP's on one ethernet port
Multi-home hosts are possible, make sure that the kernel has "IP: aliasing support" built in. It appears as if you need at least one device named, for example,
ethX
. If you define, say, an
ethX:0
and and
ethX:1
then ifconfig won't show them, but if one of them is
ethX
then both show up OK.
Network configuration in
/etc/network/interfaces
:
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 192.168.1.50
netmask 255.255.255.0
For some reason pump doesn't like the
:0
aliases so if you're using dhcp then it has to be on
ethX
.

/etc/hostname
: use short name on Debian, fqdn on centos:
http://serverfault.com/questions/331936/setting-the-hostname-fqdn-or-short-name
Tests After Setting Up a New Box
$ hostname
$ hostname --fqdn
$ dnsdomainname
$ python -c "import socket; print socket.gethostname()"
$ python -c "import socket; print socket.gethostbyaddr('<output from previous command>')"
If these aren't what's expected the problem is probably in either
/etc/hostname
or
/etc/hosts
.
