[cobalt-users] Re: Adding block of IP addresses to RAQ3 purchased from Host Provider?

["David Thacker" <Cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"Key",

It is possible to make these IP addresses work on your RaQ3, but not directly
via the GUI.  You need to bind the additional IPs to the local loopback
adapter instead of the eth0 adapter.  This is how I have mine configured.

When I add a new site, I add it via the gui, then go to the commandline and
hand-edit the network scripts to make it work via the loopback adapter.

If you want more detailed information, email me directly.
